I was about to do just 4 bars, but than I couldn't stop and transcribed the whole solo B.Marsalis on ¨Strattin' Wjth Some Barbecue ¨

Thanks a lot ffjay, i love Branford's playing here and went looking for a transcription and you've done it!!

 

[wiseone]

Thanks for sharing.... Great solo!

anyone know - what is that two-bar quotation at 0:39, right after the double bar line??

But ... but ... but ... he plays the ii! Right there for all the world to see. It's even part of a ii-V-i. I thought only people who never listened to jazz did that?

Maybe it's Exactly Like You that you're hearing ? All the same, I don't believe it's intended as a quote - it's just a phrase that suggests itself organically, or naturally at this point.

And thanks to the OP for this excellent transcription.

Sure it's the ii and not just an extension of the V ??

It's cool pattern based on major triad. It sounds very similar to Willis "Gatortail" Jackson from his solo in Later for The Gator 01:10

I'm pretty sure both Branford and Willis are quoting the same tune - some old Dixieland* standard, maybe??

<edit> *it reminds me more of a Calypso, if I'm honest....

It's a lick that Dizzy and Bird use at the beginning of a famous tune they did together. I can't recall the tune off the top of my head though.

oh yeah, the tune is simply called "bebop" --

it isn't "Bebop", it isn't "Exactly like you", and it isn't a calypso.
my old pal accordionist Harry Hussey knew right away-
"Many long years ago, A fellow named Robin Hood;
He used to rob the rich. Most every chance he could. "

Louis Prima might be the nicest version , others by Les Brown, Tony Pastor bands.
