I really appreciate your transcribing this solo. It's how I heard of this album and recording. However, as I'm transcribing it myself now to learn for school, I'm realizing that there are quite a lot of errors. All love and I appreciate the work, but for anyone using this as an aid to learn this solo, the written solo is a good starting spot, but I would advise against using it exclusively to learn the solo. Use your ears and pick out the notes and rhythms for yourself and compare them to the written transcription. Just don't be surprised when you find discrepancies. If you come to a spot where you aren't sure, find someone who has better ears than you and show them what you have so far and think it might be, but tell them that you want their opinion as well. All the best, and to the transcriber, I sincerely appreciate your work and exposing me to this recording from the bottom of my heart! Cheers all!
Scales and arpeggios! Ascend with E locrian #2 (G melodic minor) anticipating A alt (Bb mel min). Anticipate* the Ab major scale to substitute the Dm chord (tritone sub) and start coming down with a F# minor pentatonic scale to land on E7 bebop scale. Land on A major but imply D7 (with F minor pentatonic scale for tritone sub sound). End with blistering Bud Powell (bird) quoted licks for the final two five one in F. *by “anticipate” I mean act like we’re already at next chord before we’re actually there. Change sooner than everyone else for a hip fresh sound. Practice doing that.
This is piano interpretation, not sax, not trumpet.... This is not Maurice Ravel D-dur Concerto for Piano & Orchestra for left (one) hand. So...where is left hand? Mulgrew performs with two hands. Where is left? The most interesting in jazz, in this solo is left hand.
