Even now 36 years later this tune still rocks!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2015\/August\/Crusaders.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"176\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Wilton Felder&#8217;s tenor sax solo is a classic. It&#8217;s obvious while looking at the transcription and listening to the solo that Wilton Felder\u00a0was no slouch on these changes either. \u00a0He could have\u00a0easily taken the route of just playing over the chords using the G blues scale like so many players do but Mr. Felder does a great job of nailing the changes\u00a0on this solo. \u00a0 Check it out! \u00a0The solo starts at the 5:28 minute mark of the video. \u00a0 For those of you interested, I read that Wilton Felder played a King Super 20 tenor sax with a Berg Larsen \u00a0105\/0 \u00a0mouthpiece. \u00a0 I hope you like it and thanks again for John Blevins in taking the time to transcribe this great solo.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-iVR7WLsvAg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2015\/August\/Street Life- Wilton Felder- Tenor Sax Solo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Street Life-Wilton Felder-Tenor Sax Solo Bb PDF<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2015\/August\/Street Life- Wilton Felder ALTO.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Street Life-Wilton Felder-Tenor Sax Solo Eb PDF<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.neffmusic.com\/2015\/August\/Street Life- Wilton Felder (C).pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Street Life-Wilton Felder-Tenor Sax Solo C PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 12px; background-color: #f0b646; line-height: 1.4;\"><em>*If you would like to support me here at neffmusic.com, you can do so\u00a0on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/product-category\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support page of my store<\/a> by debit or credit card. \u00a0 Any support is appreciated and will go towards keeping this site running, saxophone reeds, mouthpiece patches, coffee, and towards justifying the many hours I spend on providing free transcriptions to the saxophone community!\u00a0 Thanks,\u00a0 \u00a0Steve<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s another great solo transcription from John Blevins. \u00a0John has graciously sent me a number of his transcriptions this last week and given me permission to share them with the sax world on my site here. \u00a0This is a great sax solo by Wilton Felder who was the cofounder of\u00a0the Crusaders. \u00a0 The tune is\u00a0Street [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":29082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1302,716,1204,1303,265,1301],"class_list":{"0":"post-29078","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-transcriptions","8":"tag-crusaders","9":"tag-jazz-sax","10":"tag-solo-transcription","11":"tag-street-life","12":"tag-tenor-saxophone","13":"tag-wilton-felder","14":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
