Bilbo Posted Tuesday at 07:52 Author Posted Tuesday at 07:52 I am proud of this one. The complete Anthony Jackson performance on the tune '11:49 p.m.' from the 2012 Hiromi Trio Project album, 'Move'. One to read before you try to play! it has a long section in 5:8 that is not something you see very often, certain not for prolonged sections of improvisation, so it will test you, especially as the note groupings AJ uses are not consistent. There is also a unison section (also in 5:8) that will break a few bones! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/11-49-p-m-hiromi-uehara-trio-project/ 2 Quote
Bilbo Posted Tuesday at 20:17 Author Posted Tuesday at 20:17 I felt a bit jaded after the 11:49 transcription so wanted to try something in a higher register that didn't keep me down in the region of the low B. This came up on my mp3 player and I thought I would have a go. It is not a bass part at all but the melody to a Ralph Towner tune called 'Ecotopia' from the 1987 Oregon album of the same name. Something very different. The melody does some lovely things with the rhythms so have a go and see where it takes you. A nice exercise. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/ecotopia-oregon-melody-transcribed-for-bass/ Quote

Bilbo Posted yesterday at 20:03 Author Posted yesterday at 20:03 Another track I have adored since I first heard it on John Scofield's 1989 album, 'Flat Out'. The track is 'Secret Love' and has this lovely swinging Latin feel that is not quite a bossa but is just lovely. Nothing more than 8th notes but some lovely rhythmic displacements from Mr. Cox. And what a sound. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/secret-love-john-scofield/ 1 1 Quote
Bilbo Posted yesterday at 20:06 Author Posted yesterday at 20:06 I just moved the Ozzy track behind the Scofield track so Ozzy's is listed as transcription no. 666 on the list on the front of this thread. 👺🤘 2 1 3 Quote
Bilbo Posted 10 hours ago Author Posted 10 hours ago Something different, a Hermeto Pascoal tune called 'Sempre Feliz' from the the 1986 album, 'Brasil, Universo'. The bass player is Itibere Swarg. Some nice Brazilian stuff but not nearly as crippling as it sounds! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/sempre-feliz-hermeto-pascoal/ Quote
