How to use this site

The title of each entry links to an MP3 recording of the lick. If your browser supports MP3s, this will open a separate window, where the lick will play. This window will still be here - you may need to drag the new one to one side to see it. Click on any of the transcriptions to open a larger version of it. Use your browser's 'back' button to return to this page.

All the transcriptions here are in concert keys. One day, if I have time, I'll create B flat and E flat versions if anyone would like them. Do let me know.

This is a great line but I don't really understand why it works so well. Kenny Burrell seems to be using simple 3 chord blues in C for this song and these measures (7 and 8) should be C7. The first measure seems to fit C mixolydian but Dexter seems to be thinking E-7, Bb-7 and A-7 in the next 5 beats leading into a G7. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that can shead some light on this...

Hi there I'm Patrick from Australia, I play Jazz piano! Took me a while to figure out but the underlying chords for these two bars are:

C7 CMaj7 Dm7 D#dim | Em7 A7b9 | onto D9 G7 etc

Hope that helps! Great site Big Buzzard, keep the licks coming!
