Among the engaging answers I got from Max, I love his brilliant points of view on the art of transcription.

When you are really cookin' - Branford Marsalis' transcription

Hi everyone, 

For this episode, I have transcribed Branford Marsalis playing on the famous standard Struttin' with some barbecue. 

The solo is outstanding for its combination of traditional and bebop language. Branford has a superb tone on soprano, a supersolid time, and a very simple, straightforward way of thinking.

The solo is informative on learning and internalising solid jazz language, especially on the turning points of the blues (between bars 4 and 5 and at the end of the form).

Hello everyone,

This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a podcast where we talk about transcriptions, how to do it and wonderful musicians. 

On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast, after receiving some harsh comments on a previous episode about something that I supposedly wrongly transcribed, I decided to make a short video where I explain (once again) what is The Compromise that we need to accept when we transcribe.

“I am incredibly grateful and humbled to be named the Take Note leader in 2023. Being awarded Take Note will give me the opportunity to compose my next large-scale work – a deeply personal project that has been percolating over the last 3 years.

“Cultivating diverse spaces within our community is a passion of mine and I am excited to be working with the Melbourne International Jazz Festival to carve out more opportunities for those that may not fit the status quo. I look forward to working with and empowering students to create music in safe and inclusive spaces in the hope of developing a place where they all feel they can belong within their own communities.”
