I just finished lifting Kenny Dorham's solo on Mack the Knife from the Quiet Kenny album. It is a really swingin' solo. Actually, the whole album is great. Kenny was one of the finest trumpet players in jazz.

Here is the solo:




And here is a recording of JUST the solo so you can hear it.

I suggest you lift it on your own and compare notes. Learning other people's transcriptions isn't as beneficial as doing it yourself.

thanks. this came in handy.

Thanks for shearing! We should have a sticky thread where we could have sheared own transcriptions

Dig! I have a couple notes different but for the most part I have the same stuff.

Kenny is SO under recoginzed. He was an influence to many... and is to me. He and Joe Henderson together... Wow!!
