Also, do yourself a favor and go to this page from his website with a Slow Blues on it! You can definitely tell Sam has studied the lines of John Coltrane right? I also have a few other transcriptions of Sam Dillon’s solo here. If you want to check out more from Sam Dillon you can read Sam’s bio here on his website. Well done guys! This pandemic better end soon or all these great jazz players in isolation will convert every tune from the great American songbook to 400+ tempos and random odd meters just to keep themselves entertained! I had to really hone in on Yosuke’s bass notes and actually work backward for the last 12 bars of the solo. I think I came pretty close in transcribing it. The second page of this solo was especially hard to transcribe because Sam was laying so far behind the beat on some of these lines that it was difficult sometime to tell what note was “supposed” to be on one. I will warn you now that if high speeds scare you, you might want to put on your seatbelt before pushing the play button on the video below (some motion sickness pills might help also….). For some unknown reason, Sam Dillon and the bass player Yosuke have decided that their purpose in life while in isolation is to play Cherokee as fast as humanly possible. It’s just a fact of life that if you lock a jazz musician in a room in isolation or quarantine, they will not survive without a clear unfathomable goal and musical purpose. Believe it or not, this is Cherokee at 400 beats per minute. These two books are filled with great modern 16th note lines in all 12 keys that you can learn and use while soloing.Here is another insane tenor sax solo by Sam Dillon. If you like these types of modern lines like I do, be sure to check out my Devastating Lines for Jazz and Funk Soloing for Minor and Dominant Grooves.

This is such a great tenor mouthpiece! Plays super even in all registers, and burns in the altissimo register. Here is Mike’s quote about the Boston Sax Shop R-Series tenor saxophone mouthpiece (I have not reviewed this BSS R-Series mouthpiece as of yet) he is playing on this clip: He has been touring with Arturo Sandoval for the last four years. Mike Tucker sounded amazing and I have been a fan ever since! Here is Mike Tucker’s website if you want to find out more information on him. It had a “Live at the Lighthouse Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman sound” to the recording with Mike Tucker on the tenor sax and George Garzone on the soprano sax. I first heard of Mike Tucker years ago when I came upon a recording of Mike playing a gig with George Garzone. It goes by pretty quick so be prepared……. Actually, the whole reason for this transcription was for me to get that tasty altissimo A line on measures 26-27. I can’t resist transcribing these short solos as I can do them pretty quickly and this one caught my attention immediately with the altissimo A lick at the :30 mark. This is a short but sweet one chorus solo on the changes to the tune “Confirmation” by Charlie Parker. Here is another transcription of a great Mike Tucker tenor saxophone solo that Mike posted on Instagram a few days ago.
