Benjamin F. Brown's bass part for the tune 'Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear From Me' from the 1994 Lena Horne album, 'We'll Be Together Again'. Horne was 77 when she recorded this and was still recording when she was 89. This one swings like a beast.

I went looking for this one yesterday as I was sure that I had done it before but I couldn't find any sign of it anywhere so can only assume I have never actually transcribed it. This is the head only dots for the tune 'Bait Tone Blues' from the 1996 Mike Stern album, 'Between The Lines'. The bass, played by Jeff Andrews on the record, plays the head alongside guitarist Stern. It's a chopsy little b***er so is likely to take some time to internalise. It is written 8va otherwise it's a ledger line nightmare.

I am really proud of this one. Anthony Jackson's complete bass part for the tune 'Butter (Tribute To Quentin Jackson)' from the 1984 album 'French Toast'. It would appear that this was Michel Camilo's first recording as a leader and what a start. The recording features stunning arrangements and marks the start of a 20-year relationship between Camilo and bassist Jackson. The transcription is incredibly sophisticated but worth spending time on as it has some glorious moments.

 

In case anyone is interested, Quentin Jackson was a trombone player with Duke Ellington.

I have three to post today. I have a dep gig next week with a function band and needed to prepare some charts. Nothing overly complicated but stuff I couldn't find anywhere else. This is a functional bass part for the tune 'This Is How We Do It' by Montell Jordan.

I was wondering, why you have been so quiet for so long. I should have guessed... THREE basslines in a row! Amazing work.

I have been doing a few more gigs and rehearsals and have been busier more recently so haven't been as prolific as I have been previously. I have done 16 in May, though, so can't really complain.
