Oh yes, really very beautiful, thank you!

I stumbled across this Eb alto sax transcription of PW's solo on some dark & dusty corner of t'internet somewhere - I may move it around for Bb instruments later.

Wow, beautiful chords! Thanks for the transcription! I like the refreshing changes in bar 13 and bar 27-29 although it's the Bassline that connects these changes, so you've got to add bass notes to the (whole) transcription to make it work! In bar 29 of the transcription i do hear gm7 followed by C7.
