While I have been completing all of these transcriptions, I have also been keeping a separate document of shapes/licks over different chord qualities (min7, maj7, dom7, altered dominant, dom7b9, m7b5) that I come across often. I hope they will be of use in your practicing sessions - remember, aim to use these transcriptions to check your own work rather than simply reading off of them! You will get much more out of transcribing a solo by ear first and memorizing it rather than reading it off of an already completed transcription. My goal for these transcriptions is to assist musicians with their practicing and help spread the word about all of these excellent artists. These transcriptions are intended solely for educational use and is not to be sold/posted elsewhere online. You will find transcriptions of solos by Cannonball Adderley, Vincent Herring, Kenny Garrett, Sonny Stitt, Antonio Hart, Michael Brecker, Jackie McLean, Eddie Harris, Joe Henderson, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and Hank Mobley, amongst many others (If you are looking for my Chad LB, Vincent Herring/Eric Alexander, Sam Dillon, Andrew Gould or Mike Tucker transcription books, click here). Many of the most famous "jazz" standards came from Broadway musicals, and this series has most of the popular songs from musicals.Below are free solo transcriptions I have completed to aid in my development as a musician. The Singers Musical Theatre Anthology is comprised of five volumes (so far!) for each by voice type (Soprano, Mezzo/Belter, Tenor, Bass/Baritone) and volumes for duets. Each volume comes with a CD of an accompaniment arrangement. Hal Leonard Pro Vocal is a recent series with songbooks and background CDs that can be transposed. Some of this series is jazz-oriented. For an index of specific songs, click here (.pdf) Published by Indiana native, Jamey Aebersold, this series is designed to give students experience in improvisation but can be used for "gigs" as well. Each of the over 100 volumes comes with a CD of the background (rhythm section) for practice or performance. Some of the early volumes are devoted to improvisation in general, e.g., improvisation on standard chord progressions rather than specific songs. The Music Collection owns many songbooks that come with accompanying CDs. Each of the following series has several volumes: John Coltrane: Giant Steps: M1366.C65 G5 2013 There are also artist-oriented scores plus CD within the Aebersold play-along series. They are shelved with the music for that instrument, for example the Miles Davis Omnibook is shelved with other scores for B-Flat trumpet. Omnibooks are dedicated to the solos of just one artist, with lead sheets for their famous tunes. The Ultimate Pop Rock Fake Book, 4th ed.The Hal Leonard Real Jazz Standards Fake Book.How to Play from a Fake Book, by Blake Neely (for keyboard) To find all available fake books, search Popular Music - Fake Books in OneSearch and limit to Music Score as the content type if necessary. *All fake books are for instruments in the key of C unless otherwise noted* An essential series plays on the notion for the title "The Real Book." The style of notation for the song is called a "lead sheet." These enable a musician to "fake" a song they don't really know, but has come to be the standard notation for learning new songs too. A "fake book" consists of one stanza of melody and words, with indications for chord changes above the staff line.
