When you are really cookin' - Branford Marsalis' transcription
Hi everyone, 
For this episode, I have transcribed Branford Marsalis playing on the famous standard Struttin' with some barbecue. 
The solo is outstanding for its combination of traditional and bebop language. Branford has a superb tone on soprano, a supersolid time, and a very simple, straightforward way of thinking.

Learning the Blues, Part 2 - Marçal Perramon transcription
Hi everyone, 
For this episode, I have transcribed the  Marçel Perramon solo on Neal Hefti's blues called After Supper.

Ep. 27 - The Compromise

Hello everyone,
This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a podcast where we talk about transcriptions, how to do it and wonderful musicians. 
On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast, after receiving some harsh comments on a previous episode about something that I supposedly wrongly transcribed, I decided to make a short video where I explain (once again) what is The Compromise that we need to accept when we transcribe.
