16 Years Later - Eric Alexander & Vincent Herring on "Blues Up and Down" (Solo Transcriptions) 

Wheeeew Vincent Herring with the melodic ideas🔥🔥🔥

That tenor sound is Crazy

This is great! Although I was kinda over the solo 3 minutes into it, this is great for study! And to get some good language under the fingers Edit: Vincent’s solo is so much better, simply because he said what was needed for the musical situation and got out. That’s a top top level musician there

I couldn't touch my computer screen for 15 minutes these were so hot. Thanks for posting.

Thank you transcribing this - what a delightful listen and read

The thing is his passion and energy on tenor.

Excelentes ambos saxos !!

The tenor tone and the way it's recorded remind me so much of how Oliver Nelson's tenor sounds on Blues and the Abstract Truth.

I remember the days when Eric was with Charles Earland burning it up 🔥🔥🔥

Where has this band been my whole life

Jazz lines for the ages. Now, for your studies students, please transcribe to the remaining eleven keys. ;^)

Great

Just insane!!!!!

Bravoo!!!

Excellent!!

The guys like Eric and there are a few make some of us want to go get 2 yards of sand in a pickup truck, come back home and roll over our Selmer's and Buecher's. If they don scare the shit out of you, you mustn't know much about practice, practice practice and then practice some more. I never enjoyed practice other than to learn a new tune. I have no trouble with Jazz standards especially ballads and I can swing and bounce. The up-tempo shit kills me.

A lot of Coltrane influence in these solos.

I love VH's tone and style. So repetitive though. 😢

Thanks for the good transcription to study. There is nothing new in these two solos. They repeat what we have already heard and reheard by those who created this style. But many of them are dead. The only positive thing is that it is played 'live' again with young and living people, but not more. It will certainly evoke vocations of future Jazz Musicians. You have here a 'patchwork' and a 'summary' of the Creators. But no 'own personality' in these two musicians,, That said, it's also a choice, if they are aware of it so much the better, if not, it's a bit sad thinking that they bring something new. And in this 'style' there are hundreds of musicians who play just as well all over the world..

And cuts it at the piano solo. Rip 😆

Nobody is young anymore lol

As annoying as Eric's playing can be at times. The rhythm section did him no favors as he got deeper into his solo. With that being said it was 3 choruses too long lol
