Coltrane for guitar

WowBobWow

Not shunning the Selmer607 spin (they sound great!), I wanted to share my favorite coltrane stuff from the web.

Coltrane is the reason why I got into jazz and took up the sax in high school. Any of his ballad recordings are just classic. If you are a big fan, I recommend watching the "Jazz Casual" episode of him & the quartet on Youtube or from Netlix.

Cheers for the thread,

Thanks for posting the patterns! It's great to see that there's another sax player on the forum.

We do "Footprints" straight into Coltrane's "Mr. PC". It works great as a gypsy tune as a quote or by itself.
We also do Mongo Santamaria's "Afro Blue" which Coltrane covered a lot. We do it very slow as almost a classical/folky tune. Works great, but not really GJ.

Hi guys ~

Glad you like the links and I added some Charlie Parker stuff I found from the web here -- sax & guitar related

If anyone knows of any transcriptions of "Charlie Parker with Strings" please let me know, I wish someone would make a book of it / publish the big band scores. Thanks ,

Gorgeous, tasty biting Selmer- this could be the quintessential petite bouche sound.

Adrien is absolutely smoking it on this clip! What a player- I really hope to make this year's camp.
