  • A transcription of Victor Lawton's incredible clarinet solo on "Blues to Be There", performed by The Dillard Center for the Arts at Essentially Ellington 2019. This entire song and performance are just unreal, and this solo is outstanding. I hope you enjoy the transcription!

      @quinnsanderson7263 Год назад +86

      I found how to hit it: you need to almost squeak the very high g note on clarinet (4th octave G) and it comes out as a mildly in tune 4th ocatve C
