Transcription of Wynton Marsalis playing Buddy Bolden's Blues (Bb inst.)

[TRBrownn]

the best version of this tune to transcribe is from "Unforgivable Blackness", a CD from the docu film on Jack Johnson directed by Ken Burns w/ music by Wynton.

@TRBrownn Thank you for the information, I even have the DVD of that documentary. I'll check it out.

well. no thanks. I'm a trumpet player myself so i've checked it before. Of course you should always check the original. You can never capture this on paper. Good to hear that you will review it. Keep up the good work.

Nice transcription. There are a few wrong notes in it. The last eight in measure 23 should be a Ab.

In Measusre 33 it should be. G, G, A, A, B.

In Measure 39 the first Eight note should be a B.

In Measure 40 the F should be a F# and the F# at the end of the measure should have a bow to the next measure and stay a f#.

The quarter point and next notes in measure 47 and 48 are supposed to be a Ab.

Measure 40 should be a different rhythm and should be D# D# C A

In Meausre 59 the D should be D#.

@formulefan wow, thank you for checking this out so carefully. My recommendation is to refer always to the original version, especially for all the slur, legato, glissato etc, that's why I include the link to the source, and it sounds like you don't really need a transcription for this. I will review the score with your corrections.
