Chris bittner is the most wonderfully informed tenor saxophonist of his GENERATION ALL should listen and absorb WOW.wow thank you Nigel Nash in great britain
Thanks for the transcription! And Chris does all of this without resorting to quartal or quintal melodic lines! (I think of the Ricker and Weiskopf book here!) Mind boggling!! I'll listen to the solo again!!!
The truth! Come to find out later, he was actually thinking about stablemates over the top of the blues. Crazy interesting concept that forces you to automatically play super out. CBitty is the real deal!
@@SaxophoneSteveKortyka well! That is interesting indeed! Superimposing a completely different tune on top of another one…. The numbers work out…. Stablemates is 14 bars - 8 bars 14 bars which comes out to 36, equal to three choruses of 12 bar blues…. Meaning there is a 36-bar poly-chordal progression. Wow what a trip. Absolutely bizarre combinations resulting from these simultaneous progressions.
Is his first chorus and 2 bars into the 2nd chorus just an A section of Stablemates? Lol listen so it’s just loud enough to hear the line and not the backing track. It also sounds like he goes on to play the bridge as well and then weaves back into the blues somewhere at the end of that, or somewhere in other A section.
Great transcription. To me (only!): no dynamics, no 'blues' feel to speak of, and sounds like a math exercise over changes. I dig that others might dig that.
Thanks for the inspiring material... best regards..:)
My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)
