After years of committing my transcriptions to memory only, I have been starting to write them down. This transcription comes off of the Branford Marsalis Quartet’s recording, Upward Spiral, which features Kurt Elling. I’m a big fan of this recording. The interplay between Branford, and Kurt, is pretty incredible – big ears all around!

Branford takes two choruses, starting at 2:04, and I love the bluesy-ness, combined with some great double-time at the end.

Enjoy!
