Why is Learning Jazz Patterns Foreign to Me?

August 24, 2015 by Steve 7 Comments

I received this question in an email the other day and I thought it would be good to try to answer it in detail on the blog here so others can benefit from it: Question: Steve, I have always listened to jazz, but I tend to favor simpler, lyrical playing like Houston Person, Gene Ammons, […]

Insane Sam Dillon Monster Lick of the Day Tenor Sax Transcription

November 23, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Here is another short transcription of an incredibly fast jazz line by Sam Dillon that I saw on Instagram the other day.  I hate to think that this is how Sam warms up for a recording session.  Haha!  I transcribed this just for my own enjoyment.  The line itself, is not technically hard and it […]

Insane Sam Dillon “Cherokee” at 400bpm Tenor Sax Solo Transcription

April 16, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Here is another insane tenor sax solo by Sam Dillon. Believe it or not, this is Cherokee at 400 beats per minute.  Yes, you read that correctly……. It’s just a fact of life that if you lock a jazz musician in a room in isolation or quarantine, they will not survive without a clear unfathomable […]

Burnin’ Sam Dillon “On a Misty Night” Tenor Sax Solo Transcription

February 11, 2020 by Steve 8 Comments

Here is another burnin’ tenor sax solo by another relatively young sax player I discovered on Youtube.  I’d like to introduce the saxophone world to Sam Dillon if you don’t already know him.  I discovered Sam a few years ago but this is the first saxophone solo of his that I have attempted to transcribe.  […]

Swingin’ Max Ionata “Home At Last” Tenor Sax Solo Transcription

June 29, 2019 by Steve 5 Comments

Here is another killin’ solo by the great tenor saxophone player Max Ionata.  I absolutely love this solo and have probably listened to it a hundred times this morning.  Part of what I love about the solo, is watching Max on the video.  He is playing this killin’ perfect tenor sax solo but he looks […]
