Hey guys, Here's a recording of me playing St. Thomas with Sonny Rollins :) I transcribed his solo with my teacher, and i decided to give it a run with the actual recording. This is a new mouthpiece, so I'm not quite used to the sound yet. Here it is...

I've started a blog to put up various & sundry "jazz stuff," including a bunch of transcriptions. The first two pages of this transcription, in crummy GIF format, have resided on my web site for, oh, more than ten years -- before many of you were born. (If you're less than 10.) (If you are...
