<\/a><\/p>\nIf you have never heard of Danny Walsh before, check out his CD and any future projects he plays on!<\/p>\n
Here’s another\u00a0great\u00a0solo transcription from a Youtube video that I started working on a few days\u00a0ago. \u00a0 My tenor was getting overhauled so I thought I would take a stab at an alto solo while it was in the shop. \u00a0This is from the great\u00a0sax player, Danny Walsh\u00a0and is a solo he played with the Ball\u00a0\u00a0State Jazz Ensemble. \u00a0The tune is “One for Rich” but the chord changes are based off of “How Deep is the Ocean”.<\/p>\n
Danny went to Berklee College of Music and left shorty before I got there in the mid 80’s. \u00a0I’m not sure I have ever heard him live although the summer before I went to Berklee I remember hearing an ensemble behind a closed door and the tenor player was playing a killing solo which sounded like Michael Brecker to me. \u00a0I always wondered if that was Danny playing………<\/p>\n
I haven’t heard too much from Danny since the 80’s but when I heard he had released a recording called “Entering In” I was one of the first to buy it. \u00a0This is a great CD! Danny’s sound on both tenor and alto saxophone is beautiful. \u00a0 One of the aspects I love the most about Danny’s playing is his ability to take a solo “outside”. \u00a0It seems effortless to him and his lines just flow whether they are “inside” bebop lines or “outside” Brecker type lines. \u00a0It is obvious that Danny Walsh is very talented and has spent his time in the woodshed that is for sure. \u00a0You can hear the Coltrane and Brecker influence on his lines that is for sure!<\/p>\n
