OK.....all this discussion about Edmond Hall......here's my transcription of Profoundly Blue......
I once had a student that was incredibly smart and talented. I sent him home with a copy of the Blue Note recording that had this and about a dozen other EH sides on it. I said pick one solo and learn it for next week......he comes back and says he learned all the solo's on the recording. I said yeah, sure you did kid......he then proceeded to play every note Ed Hall played on the damn thing. He ended up going to USC and getting a degree in Jazz Studies, and also a degree in some sort of Science. And then he did some research in LA and managed to get his Medical School paid for. Now he's a Doctor and a ripping jazz saxophonist. One of the smartest people I've ever met.........True Story......
So I have loved EH for decades, and this has been very enlightening hearing what ya'll have to say about him.
What a pleasure to hear from you all, the aggregate knowledge is an inspiration.
Let me know what you think of this one, it was a very early transcription for me but I think it's pretty accurate. No changes but I think we can all agree this is a blues, correct?
