Ep. 24.1 Struttin’ With Some Barbecue - Branford Marsalis
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
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.
The solo is informative on learning and internalising solid jazz language, especially on the turning points of the blues (between bars 4 and 5 and at the end of the form).

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.
