<\/p>\nHere is another burnin’ tenor sax solo by another relatively young sax player I discovered on Youtube.\u00a0 I’d like to introduce the saxophone world to Sam Dillon if you don’t already know him.\u00a0 I discovered Sam a few years ago but this is the first saxophone solo of his that I have attempted to transcribe.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because they are usually too darn fast! (Same reason I don’t transcribe a lot of Coltrane, Brecker and Bergonzi solos…….) This solo seemed a bit more medium tempo so I gave it a shot.\u00a0 It was hard though!\u00a0 Usually a solo takes me like 3-4 hours to complete.\u00a0 This one took me about 10 hours in total.<\/p>\n
