Learning the Blues, Part 2 - Marçal Perramon transcription

Hi everyone, 

For this episode, I have transcribed the  Marçel Perramon solo on Neal Hefti's blues called After Supper.

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.

Cheryl released her debut album, Follow Me Through The Red Ash, in 2017 to critical acclaim. She co-leads the JazzLab Orchestra and has released two albums, Menagerie (2018) and Pink Milk (2021) with collaborative trio Koi Kingdom.

Cheryl says of her role as MIJF’s 2023 Take Note Jazz Leader:

“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.”

On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast, Mirko Guerrini interviews the guest jazz doctor: STEFANO BOLLANI.

Stefano is not only one of my best friends, he was also my best man at my wedding and my deskmate at high school. We have gone through uncountable adventures, with some highlights like the recording of the album Carioca in Brazil (followed by several tours) and his jazz quintet I Visionari.

Listen to Stefano''s answers to the questions below: 

Stefano Bollani (born 5 December 1972) is an Italian composer, pianist, and singer, also active as a writer and television presenter.

Stefano, as usual, approaches transcription from a different angle and perspective. Knowing him for more than 40 years, I never had a chance to have a long, deep conversation on jazz transcriptions. I learned unexpected things and understood (finally) a few things that were always a mystery to me.

This is my transcription and analysis of the beautiful solo by Red Garland on What is this Thing Called Love, from A Garland In Red (Prestige).

It is a very hard swingin' be-bop informative solo played by Garland, with many insights on transforming a simple melody with no swing into a swinging machine!

Garland also makes an extensive and state of the art use the enclosures technique.
