Original Video: • Marcus Miller - Metrop...
(Marcus Miller - Metropole Orkest - Edison Jazz/World Awards 2013)
Transcribed by: Levi from Notebook Transcriptions
Soprano Sax - Alex Han, NOT Alex Hahn as written in the video. (Though he is also a great player!)
As part of Marcus Miller's Edison Jazz 2013 set, Alex Han played this beautiful solo on Miller's original tune, Goree.
This solo is particularly meaningful because the tune is about a slave house on an island that held African slaves. Miller visited the island and wrote this song about how he felt standing in that slave house, and Han truly raised the emotional level of the piece with his beautiful solo.
I would highly recommend checking out the original video, which has a preamble by Miller outlining the above story, and watching the rest of the whole set. There are many great solos and I can't wait to transcribe more of them...

Just thinking how much effort you put to transcribe the solo makes me cry

@notebooktranscriptions Год назад

It was an effort!

There are transcribing computer programs where it transcribes to paper what is played. Sorry.

@GabrielSoto31 Год назад

@@berylallen7800 Yes but they don't transcribe perfectly and you have to have a good ear and good theory background to understand what's going on and improve those transcriptions. Usually they transcribe as midis and the midi don't register the saxophone only, for example. It will transcribe every noise as a note into the sheet music. That's where is hard, you see just a ridiculous amount of notes without silences at all. And transcribing is not just putting the notes. accents, Correct scoring techniques, progressions, changes to understand the whole thing. So, no, it is not easy. Sorry.

What's fascinating is the back-up musicians are just following the lead as the music progresses. The lead is just ad libbing each phrase, but somehow they make it all work in harmony. Great progression and beautiful music.

A product of great compositional skills by M.M and an outstanding ability to conceive and produce a solo / melody based on harmony AND countermelody from Han.

@free2bpoppie Год назад

This displays the absolute brilliance of Miller's genius as both a musician and band leader! Allowing the skills and talent of other players to make a point in the song, makes this so much more listenable than if it were just his brilliant solo playing! Yes, this is how to do it!

@williamhornabrook8081 Год назад

Amazing work transcribing it. From around bar 105 there are demi-semi quavers at around crochet = 120 which is 16 notes per second. Alex Han then speeds up into sextuplets which is a blistering 24 notes per second. I think he gets even faster than that! Truly an amazing solo too. The rhythmic stuff he's doing is nuts.

@notebooktranscriptions Год назад

He is for sure a master of rhythm. When I heard the sextuplets nested in the quintuplet I was shocked. And he manages to simultaneously create a melody with the top note of each of those 6-note fragments. Ridiculous player

@lydmarl.475 Год назад

Saw Marcus just last night again, great show, was at the Blue Note in NYC for the whole week doing 2 shows a day. Some die hard fans in line, one French guy seeing him each day back to back for the the whole week! He did not have his original band with him, because of the small stage. He invited each day others like, Lisa Fisher, Isiah Sharkey and others, we had another legend, Mike Stern last night, Awesome show!

@Madinko12 Год назад

Could somebody explain to me why the fifth is explicitly specified for some chords (e.g. 0:53)? Isn't that redundant? I'm very ignorant in music theory, please don't hurt me 😅. Amazing solo and transcription by the way. Gives me goose bumps.

@notebooktranscriptions Год назад

Hey, great question. Having the 5 next to a chord name (in this instance D5) is telling us that the chord consists of only two notes: D & it’s 5th which is A. You might have heard them called Power Chords. (Because a 5th sounds powerful!$ D5 chords basically cause a vagueness between major and minor as flavours which can give the improviser some cool opportunities to pick one or the other at different times and superimpose it over the top of the same chord.

@abielferrin913 Год назад

2:44 can someone tell me what those plus signs on those notes mean?

@notebooktranscriptions Год назад

It’s a versatile symbol depending on the instrument and composer/transcriber. If you listen to how Han is playing the notes marked like that you can hear he is sort of half-muting or “stopping” them, which is how I intended it to be read in this transcription. (Sounds like his tongue is on the reed for the note.)

@abielferrin913 Год назад

@@notebooktranscriptions ah, I believe he's half-tonguing the reed in this case.

@notebooktranscriptions Год назад

@@abielferrin913 yup!

@rjfyt Год назад

He’s playing an A on the soprano (concert G) and pressing some of the right hand keys. Since there’s an open hole in between it’s still an A but it changes the pitch and timbre making it sound like a distinctly different note. He may not be using the tongue at all. You can do this with some other notes on the sax but A is by far the most common and most pronounced
