Thanks, Markos, Fuzzy, Seabreeze, and others here- for this resource. Way too much to digest at once- glad this thread will stay indefinitely like others, I expect in the keeper section.
I have printed some pdf's and played at them. I am not so interested in duplicating anyone's solos (though of course that would be a blast), as I am at understanding how some of the expressions sound and feel as played. And I hope a few will- knowingly or unknowingly- flow back out in my own gospel arrangements.
I've had the Sweet Georgia Brown Benny Goodman at the top of this thread in my rotation for a while. Today I added Too Tight (12-Bar Blues) Johnny Dodds, transcribed by Patricia Martin, and I listened along to a YouTube clip. I was wishing measures 17-28 had made it into the transcription. But I appreciate how much more difficult it is to hear and isolate an individual instrument in such a section than on a solo. Even today I wonder whether a tool like Melodyne could separate it out. Anyway, I suspect Mr. Dodds' accompaniment lines are as good or perhaps more interesting than his solos, since he may not have felt the same pressure for a perfect recording in the group section and may have played more naturally.
