      Comparing this transcription to Sharp Eleven’s transcription of Patrick Bartley’s solo, I think this one didn’t really highlight the nuances between using flats and sharps to highlight chord shapes and notated certain things that can’t really be described by sheet music (hence all the appoggiaturas) along with certain quotes (like “Lester leaps in” at the end) that aren’t transcribed correctly. But, the pitches are accurate and even catches certain notes that sharp eleven missed. Nevertheless it’s still beautifully transcribed.

    I've listened to this solo about 20 times and I just noticed an awesome moment between Russell hall and emmet cohen at 1:47 when Russell starts this descending sequential pattern and emmet catches it like 2 bars later and plays it with him.

Yet through the whole this he's got a very unique and personal style.

    Just a Superstar on Alto, possibly the best on the planet. So many examples on RUclips of his genius but this one quite rightly has huge exposure. The whole band a phenomenal too, what. A performance.

    This is literally how I want every saxophonist to sound in the world. Even his growls are smooth somehow!

      @@PatrickBartleyMusic Out of the sea of comments, you took the time to respond to mine, what an honor! I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your music. I first heard your band's rendition of MvC2's Clock Tower and couldn't get enough. The music that you play consistently accompanies me when studying. Thank you for your amazing work!

    I’ve been listening to this song more specifically the sax solo since it came out and I just knew this solo deserved attention on the dot

    I usually hate the sound of the alto but his normal tone is so easy on the ears and enjoyable
