I have finally finished my collection of transcriptions since a post I made last month. Sorry it has taken so long but the job was bigger than I imagined. Below are transcriptions (2 handed where indicated) of Knives Out, River Man, Sky Turning Grey, How Long Has This Been Going On, Anything Goes, Someone To Watch Over Me, Tres Palabras, I’ll Be Seeing You, and Exit Music For a Film.
The reason I have made 2 handed transcriptions of certain lead sheets is because Mehldau is so creative with his left hand, therefore making it necessary to document how he supports melody.

Please subscribe to my site, then, I am happy for you to print these, if you ask nicely! ? To view my other Mehldau transcriptions, please visit.

Download the Transcription: Audio Link: “August Ending” Brad Mehldau For nearly two decades, composer-improvisor Brad Mehldau has left a prophetic mark on the music of our generation. One supporting reason is that his music strikes an emotional, spontaneous core while maintaining a structural quality evident through analysis. House on Hill was released by the Brad Mehldau trio (Rossy on drums) in 2006, and the opening track, “August Ending,” illustrates Mehldau’s search for “successful integration of composed and improvised material.”1 Feel free to decide for yourself, but I’m pretty convinced he’s on the right track. The composition is bound together by a string of 8th notes (A-Bb), which while fitting colorfully into the harmony serve several foundational purposes throughout the tune. First and foremost, they tie each phrase/section together, an important task given the slow harmonic rhythm. Brad does well to syncopate his articulation, preventing any dulling effect and keeping his phrases afloat (let’s just say he’s very patient). Next, these 8th notes introduce us to an essential interval in the composition: the minor 2nd, which pervades both melody and accompaniment (ex: m.11, 20-21, 56-57).
Finally, these 8th notes set the affective tone for the entire tune, perhaps the whole album. Choose your own associations, but when I hear an endless stream of medium-fast 8th notes over a minor 2nd, I am not lulled into a warm vernal reverie, nor am I provoked to get on my bike and enjoy the floral aroma of spring.
But enough with programatic musings: this tune rocks. Here are some more reasons why. Ever the master of counterpoint, Brad has clearly defined 4 voices in the piano alone by the time we hear the melody. Each plays a specific roll, the ‘baritone’ as a countermelody (heard first as D- F-E in the left hand), tenor as chordal accompaniment (same minor 2nd but an octave below), alto (8th notes) as our driving rhythm, and for now the soprano gets the ‘song,’ albeit a rather un-virtuosic one. Each voice is brought out exquisitely and independently, a quality that can be observed in Brad’s solo in addition to the head.
If you haven’t checked out Brad’s website, and more specifically his collection of personal essays/articles (found in writing), it is worthy of inspection, especially for those who need to understand what gives his music its authority. The overarching structure of “August Ending” contributes to the piece’s success. Each A of the AABA1 form is comprised of a long circle of 4ths, marked by dorian modality (ii-V7’s) and deceptive resolutions that bring us around to the ambiguous key of Gm7-C7. In the bridge, however, Brad stretches the versatility of the A-Bb motive to a new degree. Moving the 8th notes down an octave gives the B section a revitalized sense of perpetual motion, and Brad’s other-worldly harmonic development makes you forget all about the diatonic ii-V landscape that came before.
What other chord does A-Bb fit into tastefully? E half diminished, of course! From there continues a colorful sequence of step-wise ascending roots under shifting inversions and extensions (B-Maj7Add natural7!), all under a melody that achieves a spoken simplicity despite its indirect relationship to the passing harmony. The harmonic density of the bridge allows for a sense of repose in measure 59, when Brad opens up the ongoing 8th notes into a consonant perfect 4th, returns to a diatonic, two-chord pattern similar to that of the A sections (but with a fresh Maj7 twist). Using a variation on the opening melodic motive, Brad oscillates between the original circle-of-fourths and the modal mixture of the development to bring close the head in the parallel key(s) of G7-C7.
Next comes Brad’s chorus-and-1⁄2 solo: crisp, succinct, poetic. Upon looking more closely I was reminded of my first transcription, that of Wynton Kelly’s solo on “Freedy Freeloader.” I was blown away by the coherence of Wynton’s improvisation, his ability to develop several ideas throughout multiple choruses, returning to each one with subtle evolutions.
Brad accomplishes the same feat, developing material derived from the head (ex. Scalar G-A-Bb-C—Db-C-Bb-D, mm.93-108) with a sense of space that I’ve come to expect and appreciate in his playing. The solo continues and transforms; Brad maintains the textural contrast between A and B, incorporating a double time right hand-left hand dialogue that capitalizes on the full range of the piano (mm.130-140). With a rich language unique to him, Brad weaves his way through the form, punctuating the end of his solo with a bluesy flourish in measures 192-195.
The expressive range of Brad’s improvisation creates a sense of homecoming as the A-Bb 8th note theme returns. Melody plays out, and the piece gradually thins in texture until we are left with the same undulating 8th notes that greeted us to start. Give “August Ending” several listens; with October leaves in full transition, House on Hill makes for quite a narrative.

Group: Brad Mehldau Trio – Brad Mehldau, piano; Larry Grenadier, bass; Jorge Rossy, drums Album: The Art of the Trio, Vol. 2: Live at the Village Vanguard This transcription of the Brad Mehldau Trio’s reworking of the Monk classic, “Monk’s Dream”, features the highly idiosyncratic, interactive and linear time-keeping/soloing concept of Spanish drummer, Jorge Rossy. Pay close attention to such devices as rhythmic density/sparsity, unorthodox phrasing, eighth-note quantization (swung vs. Straight), repetition, dynamic contour, use of polyrhythms, and orchestration. The transcription begins after Mehldau’s solo where Mehldau and Rossy begin trading 8s for three choruses before the head out. The extended improvisation after the head out is not included.

Players on album: Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone), Herbie Hancock (piano), Gene Taylor (bass), Roy Brooks (drum set). Transcribed by Lukas Skrove, Spring 2012. Solo begins 0’38’’ With transcribing the jazz language I’ve always been fascinated with the process of figuring out what the great players of the 50’s and the 60’s played.
With such ease and flow their language of be-bop, and blues just feeds the ears of our generation with so much substance that I feel we sometimes miss out on. I’m a young musician trying to study this music and hopefully begin to understand it a little bit more with everyday that goes. At school I try to transcribe as many solos as I can. This semester my trumpet teacher Adam Rossmiller came across this solo of Blue Mitchell’s and told me to check it out and transcribe it.

If there is one thing no one can deny about Chet Baker, it is that he was a master of melody (and that he was a massive drug addict). These early 1954 live recordings show too that Chet was well-versed in the bebop language and had been listening to and even playing with Charlie Parker.
It’s this early playing that I think is Chet’s most potent as an improvisor. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version.

From the Album, released 1997 by the John Scofield sounds like no other guitarist I’ve ever heard, and the guy’s got some badass chops. This solo is a testament to his seemingly endless creativity and flare for holding a listener’s attention, so we’re talking about the whole deal right here.
The entirety of this album is 200% listenable from start to finish so I recommend checking it out–it’s a collaboration between Scofield and “wide open” improvisers.

I’m in the process of creating a new one so that I can provide Eb, Concert pitch and bass clef versions of the solo; hopefully in the next few days. This solo from the album is quite a unique approach to the blues form.
Quite honestly I don’t even know where to begin analyzing this solo in terms of harmonic language; this solo is far different from anything other I’ve looked. Bennie is clearly influenced by Monk in his use of harmony, interval jumps and even phrasing.
In a few spots he is definitely basing his lines (or at least parts of his phrases) around certain intervals – typically starting low on the horn and jumping up by 6ths, 7ths, 8ths or 9ths. A lot of the solo is “out” with respect to the chord changes which has a great tension building effect. Bennie eases the tension a few times by hinting at a resolution to the 3rd of the I7 chord (see mm 83, 107-108, 217).
Starting around mm 145 the bass drops out making it a drum/sax duet. This section builds to a frenzy with more frequent octave leaps (mm 151, 158, 163, 165, 173 etc) and more 16th note lines and flurries of notes up until the bass comes back in at mm 205. Bennie counterbalances the frantic nature of the duet section by holding out a nice long G for three beats in mm 205 which brings the tension back down and leads to the end of Bennie’s solo. I really wish I could provide the full solo for you to listen to because it is insanely awesome. Please check out Bennie’s website and pick up this track on Amazon or iTunes. Definitely worth it to get some different ideas on the blues. Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

From the album ‘,’ released 2012 by Hannibal/. So I love listening to and transcribing solos that break lots of rules–and although rule-breaking isn’t a new concept in music (or any other creative activity for that matter), I like to think that it’s largely responsible for the generation of new musical material and original ideas in general. Ben Goldberg breaks lots of rules in this solo, but for as far out as he goes there’s always a strong indication that he knows where the key center/next downbeat is. It’s uncanny, really.
And as musically aware Ben must have been to play these killer lines, in an email Ben told me: “I took a nap in the studio and then just walked out in a daze and played that — I didn’t want to be thinking about it too much.”.

Download the Transcription:, Today’s post is a short and sweet Ben Webster solo over Duke Ellington’s rhythm changes tune “Cottontail.” Ben uses a fair amount of repetition to develop his ideas through the solo. 1-4 he repeats the rhythm while stepping down chromatically each repetition.
Each bridge has an idea that he repeats throughout each chord change (mm. 17-23 and 49-56). Measures 33-40 act almost like an interlude between choruses even though the form doesn’t change. This is also a great example repetition. Each time he repeats the motiv he moves up higher in the register which, along with the diminished sound, creates a ton of tension and a very nice peak to the solo.

This was a slightly challenging solo to transcribe because it is such an old recording and some parts of the solo are very hard to hear because they get covered up by the brass hits. I think the transcription is pretty accurate, but I might be off in some of those spots. Songs free download mp3. Download the PDF:, Rhythm. What can be more definitive in music?
Rhythm is what drives music forward, particularly in music that derived from African roots like jazz. Trombone Shorty knows all about rhythm.
He’s one of those New Orleans guys who never really shook that New Orleans attitude in his playing (thankfully). Trombone Shorty’s playing on this track especially, is derived from New Orleans Brass Band trombone playing. He approaches his solo very rhythmically, and doesn’t vary the notes he uses hardly at all. I think he steps outside the notes of the Eb minor pentatonic scale maybe once in this entire solo. The information is not in the note choice, but in the rhythmic development.
Welcome to ‘Brad Mehldau, the transcriptions page, part 2′. Below is a collection of 20 files, containing leadsheets and transcriptions of seminal Mehldau performances.
