On Green Dolphin Street

For the last month I’ve been working on and off on the transcription of Cannonball Adderly’s first chorus of On Green Dolphin Street. The phrasing is really nice in this solo. Adderly plays around a lot with the time feel, at times playing way behind the beat which made writing out the rhythms challenging. I don’t think I really nailed it but if you listen along to the recording you get the idea.
