This is the first chorus of my solo from Martin Speake's Charlie Parker album. Johan Johanson had transcribed the solo and sent it to me to mark in the phrasing and fingerings. The transcription and analysis of the phrasing is at my website http://www.mikeoutram.com/2010/04/solo-transcription-with-phrasing-analysis/ Thanks to Johan for transcribing it! I guess it might be good for a little phrasing study? Check out the album too, you can hear it on Spotify here - http://open.spotify.com/album/575j1miIK2AuxVVGoxjgZP

a 3.5hr celebration of Andrew "Lewis" Taylor's sterling catalogue, stretching from his days as Sheriff Jack and into the Lewis Taylor era, mostly consisting of b-sides, rarities & some of his production work for others.

*track #26 was a bootleg remix by a duo from my hometown of Melbourne, Australia. they're cousins by the name of Rudy and Jonathan (aka "Rud'Jon"). catch some of their newer, semi-LT-inspired works here >>> https://soundcloud.com/everinlo.

Syncopated (Prod. Kirk Knight)

Here's a little mix I did today from some fine music that was lying around.
I hope you enjoy these arabic tendencies with a touch of modalism etceteraaaaa..

Here's the game..
You must name the tracks and artists and the first one to get it right will receive a proper bundle of vinyl from Brownswood records and from the basement - some old and new in there....but I don't think you'll get it so I might as well throw in a copy of Donald Byrd's Kofi if I can find my second one!

Good luck and good digging!
