Dear Tenor Lovers,
yesterday I published my latest transcription work on YouTube.

June 6, 1945: Don Byas (ts) & Slam Stewart (b) [email protected] Hall, NY.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Man, that's so hard to read when the notes appear with the music. I didn't realize how much we read ahead when reading music. Trying to read this as the notes appeared was rough..........Some great licks in there regardless.......

Nice work. What a great solo too. Would you mind posting a pdf file so we could study this solo a bit? Don Byas was such a beast. Slam Stewart too.

I just used the pause and took a screenshot. These guys were both incredible musicians.
I remember years ago seeing a Downbeat show on public TV of Don Byas. It was from his later years and he was still a beautiful player. Definitely one of my favorite ballad players too. You have to love his sound. I’ve never seen thevshow resurface anywhere.

thx for your compliment!
I offer a PDF copy (for a fair trade amount of $'s) via the website.

So if you like my work, you have the great opportunity to directly support my poor life as a musician (currently mainly music student). epsi:

That's one of the greatest tenor solo's ever, thanks for posting.
