Bye George Transcription
Hello to all my loyal readers (if anyone at all is reading this). People have always told me I have a good ear, so I’m going to start sporadically sharing some of my transcriptions and other stuff.
The first one is a transcription of “Bye George,” a Joey Calderazzo tune on Michael Brecker’s album “Two Blocks from the Edge.” The album has mixed reception from the reviews I’ve read, but I have a soft spot for it, this tune in particular. And it’s unfortunately no longer available on streaming platforms in the US, but I still wanted to try reading it at a jam session (I actually ended up transcribing from Paul Carr’s version on his album “Standard Domain” which is also worth a listen). Credit to this thread from 12 years ago which helped me with some of the changes, and this awesome transcription of Brecker’s amazing solo. Here are the charts:
(sorry Eb instruments I’m lazy so I didn’t make an Eb version)
