So Danco Samba
Intro
Here's an analysis of the solo on 'So Danco Samba' by saxophonist Jim Tomlinson. Listen to it on the enclosed cd, the emailed mp3 or on Spotify
Attention is drawn to:
the emotional impact of the improvised solo
the notes used to cover the chords and substituted chords
phrase starting notes: chromatic or secondary scale notes
notes arranged to form enclosures
notes placed to give interesting intervals
the way the notes are grouped
to give re-usable clusters
how the groups prepare for the notes of the next chord
the chord substitutions used by the soloist
The complete recording is transcribed by Rick Hefner (rickhefner@gmail.com)
This version can be heard on Spotity under Jim Tomlinson/ 'So Danco Samba' from his album Brazilian Sketches.
