To play this like Ken is a miracle ....to transcribe all the notes Ken has been playing even a bigger miracle. Chapeau for both .... Ken and Ramsey!

Viewers my not be aware that Ken has been fighting an incurable cancer for over a year. He continues to work…..bravely. He is currently in remission. Needless to add…..keep up the fight, Ken. He is among the greatest of clarinetists. But more importantly he is by all accounts a very good guy.

Jazz may not be meant to be written down as it is in constant flux, and that's why it is a great art form. However, being able to read along with this snapshot of this unbelievable solo really gave me some insight into what he was doing to create this unforgettable playing. Many thanks for this.

Thanks for the transcription. Wonderful job. Fabulous musicians. And who among clarinet players is better than Ken Peplowski? IMHO.........nobody. Kudos to the other musicians, too!

@thierrywarot5792 2 года назад

Absolument sensationnel! Lorsqu'on veut acquérir des réflexes extrêmes, alors il faut pratiquer la musique et particulièrement la clarinette qui demande une virtuosité incroyable

@MegaGermanShepherds 4 года назад

Wait wait wait! G way above the staff can be played on clarinet! Woah!!!!!! Mind blown! Everything on China Boy is extremely fast yet very fun to listen to! Wow I applaud them all for their wonderful performance! I can only make it up to an F a little bit, but I have no ideas for the fingerings for G. Ken did awesome!!!!

@coloraturaElise 4 года назад

Most real clarinetists go up the the C above that high G, and it is possible to play higher than that, though most do not.

@MegaGermanShepherds 4 года назад

Elise Curran Thanks for telling me. I may have started clarinet from 6th grade yet I am truly an oboist. So I had no idea.

@bobdillaber1195 Год назад

I need a ligature like that. If you still had it I'd ask to buy it from you but since you say you used to have it that means you don't still have it so I won't ask to buy it from you. So, I still want a ligature like that.

@jeffreyhodes 8 лет назад

why on earth would you make the notation scrolling instead of a sequence of static images

@RamseyCastaneda 8 лет назад

I opted for the scrolling notation because I think it’s a fun way to visualize improvisation. Once you play it, it’s gone. It sort of (emphasis on "sort of") illustrates the mental processes of an improviser i.e. you can’t think too far ahead, and have to stay in the moment. It’s also a great way to illustrate Ken’s virtuosity, IMO. Ultimately, it was just a fun challenge, and figured I would upload it to RU-vid to share with others. That said, I was expecting people would be able to play along, but unfortunately it’s much to fast/blurry, which is why I provided a normal PDF of the transcription for download (link in description). Thanks for commenting!
