While nothing really new (people have been doing this since the 70s), it’s good to see it still happening.

Help with Transcriptions

March 7, 2003 in Articles

SaxMan0216 writes “I’m a big fan of big bands and instrumental blues sorts of things. I was searching on the net recently for some tunes and I came across a song done by the Stan Kenton band (apparently in 1976). It’s a Bari sax feature in what I’ve found to be the typical Kenton feature style (slow melody/bridge, really fast improv heavy part, slow restatement, candenza, end). The odd thing about it is, the only title that came with it is “Baritone Sax feature”. I would buy the song but I haven’t been able to find it mainly because of the title. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find it or a transcription (paper, pdf, or otherwise). I can play (and therefore write out) the solo line, but I don’t have the skill or the patience to get the backgrounds, chords, or key signature(s). Can anyone gimme a hand?”

“New York State Of Mind” Alto Sax Solo

July 17, 2002 in Articles

piazza4mvp writes “Does anybody know where I can find the Alto Sax Arr. For the Sax part in Billy Joel’s “New York State Of Mind”… I especially want to play the solo, and was wondering if there was an alternative to figuring it out, or finding a Billy Joel songbook(I don’t want to do that because I only like that one song, and don’t want to pay for an artist I’m not intrested in, aside from one song)”

Well, I don’t think you’re going to find it for free. You might want to just sit down and figure it out. It’s not a hard solo.
