Another Holland tune, the beautiful 'Equality' from the 1996 Quartet album, 'Dream Of The Elders'. The tune features the moody vocals of Cassandra Wilson and the poetry of Maya Angelou.

Something from Branford Marsalis's 1987 recording, 'Random Abstract', this is the complete Delbert Felix bass part for the Monk tune, 'Crepuscule With Nellie'. Interesting structure and very 'Monkish' phrasing. Just three times through the melody but some challenges in there, nevertheless.

I have had to abandon two transcriptions this week because, having got half way through, something derailed the transcription and I had to abandon (essentially, I tried things that I couldn't hear the bass part properly, even after a MOISES re-mix). So, in an effort to keep things moving, I have put together an easy one that most of us have a chance of reading,  the complete Jeff Berlin bass performance on the tune 'Small Wonder' from the 1988 Kazumi Watanabe album, 'The Spice Of Life Too'.

I am in this kind of mood this evening. Jimmy Bain's bass part for the tune 'Tarot Woman' from the 1976 Rainbow 'Rising' album. Don't you just love that synth intro?
