Here’s a nice swingin’ blues solo transcription I started working on a few days\u00a0ago.\u00a0\u00a0 This is from a young\u00a0tenor sax player, Liam Byrne. \u00a0 The group is called BBQ and stands for Brownfield\/Byrne Quintet. \u00a0Here’s a short Bio about Liam Byrne from his website:<\/p>\n

‘…Saxophonist Liam Byrne, from North Wales (UK), studied at Leeds College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has a growing reputation in the UK as a torchbearer of the jazz tenor saxophone tradition. He has performed along side notable musicians such as Alan Barnes, Osian Roberts, Digby Fairweather, Jeff Barnhart, Greg Abate, Bruce Adams, Dave O’higgins, and co-leads a quintet\/sextet with up and coming trumpet star Jamie Brownfield…’ http:\/\/www.liambyrnejazz.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s great to see young player’s carrying on the jazz tradition and playing \u00a0jazz at\u00a0live\u00a0gigs.\u00a0\u00a0 I thought Liam\u00a0played a great solo. \u00a0 I loved many of his lines and thought they were well worth transcribing. \u00a0There are some classic bebop and chromatic\u00a0lines in this solo that are worth working on! \u00a0 I look forward to hearing more from him in the future!<\/p>\n

The Youtube video of this solo that I originally posted has been taken down so I posted an mp3 version of the solo below.<\/p>\n
