I have added Wardell Gray's solo on Pennies From Heaven to my website:

http://scooby-sax.com/transcriptions.aspx

It has been issued a few time on CD. It's under Wardell's name as Live at The Haig or as Live in Hollywood. It's also under Hampton Hawes's name as Memorial. It's also available on YouTube:

Enjoy!

You guys are welcome! Wardell is one of my favorite players. I love the way he combined a Lester Young and Charlie Parker influence into his own style.

LiAm84 -- I agree that this is one of my favorite Wardell dates. You may already know that Charles McNeal has transcribed another solo from the same date ("Donna Lee") along with several other Wardell solos. Have a look at:
