Thanks for commenting! Why 18/16? Because it's in the title of her video. I was thinking of notating it in 9/4 or 9/8 actually. All of them could work, but she said 18/16, so I went with that.
I think I managed to do this in one evening. The only hard parts were figuring out what was going on rhythmically in the B section ("Let's ride with the family down the street...") and figuring out what she was playing at bar 18 (about 00:26). The notes were going by so fast and she was playing them for such a short period of time that it was difficult to hear what was going on until she jumped up an octave. I could tell she was playing the same thing earlier, just an octave lower. That helped me a lot. Other than that, the single line melody and left-hand accompaniment in the B section were easy. You can slow things down on youtube nowadays, which STILL almost feels like cheating until you find out that musicians could do that in the days of record players. When listening for chords, it helps to know some music theory and know what types of voicings a pianist might play. Know that they only have ten fingers and are usually playing no more 3 or 4 notes per hand, per chord at the most. That kind of knowledge keeps things from getting overwhelming. Also, I'm sure I didn't get everything precisely perfect. I'm very confident that the chord qualities are correct for essentially every chord, but maybe they played the 5th of the chord and I didn't write it in or vice versa. No biggie. The quality is correct. Individual musicians in jazz change that type of stuff all the time. Thanks for watching!
Someday maybe I'll sit down and try to get one measure.
I can do 2. . . the first 2. . .
omg, thank you so much for this!
also i love that you transcribed the 360 degree spin, it's an essential part of the performance
0:48 beautiful

Thank you so much! Your work is incredible, I can see you getting famous
You're a madman!!

GRANDDAD!?!? FLEENTSTONES!?!?
maddening how you did this wtf
Years of practice.

Cool job, after the sheet music do you study it to get the language on your hands so it can comes naturally in another solo or what do you do after?
That's what I should do, but I don't always have time. I have to make more time and be consistent, but my studies often get in the way.
"Gliss down piano and 360 spin"
Great job, but out of curiosity, why 18/16 instead of 9/8?

Jesus Christ man, how long did this take?
