Baritone saxophone transcriptions11/18/2023 ![]() This is another transcription that will have to wait for a video from me. Lou plays with the time quite a bit and often sits on the back end of the beat. The feel is also very different from Tom Malone’s solos, which are very on top of the beat. He’s playing a line around the 5th and 7th, so it’s firmly rooted in the chord, but the other notes are the 9th and 11th. The four chord of the first chorus is a good example of his harmonic approach, which is built on the extensions. How many of us have started an idea with a trill like that only to get stuck with no way out of it? Lou shows how it’s done here, developing an idea and building it into a phrase that leads into the four chord. I chose to write it out, because it’s very even in time, and transitions so smoothly into the next line, I struggled find any other way to notate it. He bends up from the flat 5 to create tension. It opens with a minor third trill from the 5 to the flat 7. For someone who is so highly regarded as a Blues/R&B player, his approach is much more ‘outside’ than you would expect (harmonically) His sound and his approach are instantly recognizable. More Blues Brothers! This time, a solo from the legendary “Blue” Lou Marini. A month or two ago I couldn’t get above high F at all. ![]() The numbness makes it hard to get the feedback I need. Keeping the note from getting away from me and going too high is the challenge. The hardest part I have with my surgery recovery is control. For B and C# I overblow D and E respectively. The best fingering I can come up with is LH:1,3 + RH: 1, middle side key, and D# key. High Ab has always been the hardest altissimo note to hit consistently. The last four bars are pretty tough for me right now. The timing is amazing to me, it’s way behind the beat, but somehow keeps it together without dragging. Lou relies on the 9th and 13ths a lot for harmonic color. I almost posted this with no video, but I decided to tough it out and work it up (as best as I can right now). It played an integral role in the development of my upper register, which I’m now learning all over again. This is short, but its a doozy! I transcribed this back in high school.
