Episode 4.1 - But not for me - Chet Baker

Hello everyone,

This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic LIVE, a variation of the podcast of the monthly interview where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets.

On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Live, I am analysing my transcription of the song But not for me, as played by Chet Baker.I am talking about the art of Chet Baker of playing diatonically over a chord progression and how he was able to choose the right notes at the right time.

 

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which this podcast is being recorded. I pay my respect to their Elders, past and present, and the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.

My sole aim with this video is to teach how to transcribe solos for personal study and development on one's own musical instrument. Transcribing music, as I explain in this video and in my podcast “is one of the most efficient ways to improve all your auditory skills”. Transcribing is also important because your tone, your time, your motivic development, your improvisation will all instantly improve. Please consider that transcribed scores of copyrighted music might represent in your own country an infringement to current laws, if and when used during concerts or similar. I invite you to use your scores only for personal learning and professional development.
