I have posted previously on the forum a wonderful ballad performance on bass sax by Scott Robinson with pianist Emmet Cohen of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". I listened to it again recently and decided to transcribe Scott's first chorus (basically the head but played in an individual style).
I just completed my transcription, but haven't properly checked it or added in the chords. It was quite challenging at times to hear the pitches on the bass saxophone, but Scott is a great player with fine intonation and timing on this tricky instrument.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered this morning that the solo has already been transcribed and posted on YouTube a year ago by someone else. It's interesting to see where our transcriptions are similar and where they differ.
