Animated Sheet Music: "Au Privave" by Charlie Parker

[shinryuken0]

What instrument is this sheet music for? These notes don't match with Eb Alto Saxophone.

[Charliecrunk]

@shinryuken0 It's in Bb :P

[EuphPlayer115]

I have to play it for my jazz band audition :D

[MrTheAlexandrepiano]

Nice idea to put the sheet.

But it has a lot of mistakes (both in rhythm and notes).

[Karzkin]

@MrTheAlexandrepiano Not sure which recording you're listening to MrAlex. That transcription is straight from the Omnibook, which is regarded as being pretty darn accurate.

[murftown]

@MrTheAlexandrepiano It is written out in the key of Bb, as is often done for a tenor saxophone.  So if you have perfect pitch, the notes may seem to be written 1 whole-step too high. Rhythms are a bit approximate in some ways--for example eighth notes are being used to represent a swung rhythm, as is customary--but overall looks pretty accurate to me, and as Karzkin said the Omnibook is generally well-respected as a good source for Bird's notes and rhythms.

[Kredeidi]

@ivechipalacin yet they still rock. Yes,they are that awesome.

[MJPTHA3RD]

Hahah, damn it. Those low G's don't really help us Tenors much during the first read. >.<

[nunchuckification]

what do you play?

[GWFKing]

is there a tenor chart for this?

[MrSupermandude]

@GWFKing this is the tenor chart, technically the trumpets but it's the same notes for tenor

[GWFKing]

@MrSupermandude wow i kept thinking this was an alto chart

[koyunbaba73]

Added it to my favorites, thanks!

[ejectbutton62]

@luisizabeast These changes are from the parker omnibook in Bb, which is mainly transposed for trumpet, where a low G is possible. In Eb for parker's alto, that low G is just a D :)

[luisizabeast]

pause at :50 . Am i the only one to notice that theres a low G? That's not possible..

[mjazzguitar]

@luisizabeast

I've played rhythm to this on the album, and it's in F. So would that make it a low F, even more impossible?

[weirdo3759]

more importantly why did ja stop?!

[collinm140]

Great song, one of the first ominbook songs i ever looked at. If you dont mind me asking, howdo you put something like this together?
