After realizing that I didn't want to be a professional musician, transcribing has taken on a whole new aspect for me. I found out I get the same joy out of it as I do from reading a good book by one of my favorite authors. And like reading an entertaining and challenging book, where you really connect with the characters, I find that it's kind of sad when I reach the end. The point is though that I don't care if it affects my playing because it is doubtful if anyone will ever hear me play, but I still find great joy in diving into a great solo.

Haven't transcribed or practice licks and scale/triad exercises for a looooong time. Now that I'm finally getting back into the method, I've started enjoying the process again for it's own sake. It's quite nostalgic actually. Application is important, but it also causes me to think a lot. And I tend to start hearing stuff I've practiced a lot anyway. So when that happens during practice, then I can always try applying it up over chords

Thank you Bob for all of this. We've been putting so much expectations over this quarantine period not realizing that this is a difficult time. Instead of just concentrating on being safe and taking things as they come many of us, myself included, have been thinking that when this thing ends we should be the next Sonny Rollins, causing too much pressure and not enjoying the journey. Seeing a person so excited and involved with music truly inspires me a ton, thank you very much!

We can all relate to hearing an old album for the first time in a good while and how refreshing and in some ways, reaffirming that can be. I also really enjoyed hearing about your anchoring approach while transcribing by looking at the last and then the first note you're hearing and then figuring out the pattern. Really inspiring stuff - thanks so much for sharing! I hope to make it out to another I:O retreat again when we can all meet up. Take care!

I was SO close to exiting this after that opening salvo of self satisfied “successes” - so glad I stayed for the real story! Thanks for the honesty (and humor), Bob. PS - Was just working on Mile’s ‘So What’ solo with an Alto student (on Facetime). Same thing - he starts with a damn triad (minor)! Drives me crazy when young students come back from jazz camps where the teachers have them diggin’ into Superlocrian or b6 Pentatonics before the kids can play a blues lick or even outline a triad!

I think Chris also does the side/normal Bb (with B+A keys down in LH) and then finger F, E, D and Eb key. Raucous sound!
@davidskey 3 жыл бұрын
Got to sit ~3 feet from him at the Village Voice for 3 sets a couple years ago. He does put the right hand down pretty often regardless of how he fingers Bb. Couple other things I noticed: (1) He pretty consistently fingers the left pinky low C# key when he plays G# (instead of just pushing the G# key); (2) He'll use left palm D to play middle D to get a more open sound on the note, or finger middle D the usual way but depress the left palm D instead of the octave key - also gives it a more open sound.
@bobreynolds 3 жыл бұрын
spot on; he does all these things. The C# for G# is makes playing wide leaps from C# easier bc no need to switch your pinky. Garzone also does the palm D for middle D often. Cool sound.
