I'm about to attempy something that I haven't done before, that is transcribing a solo from a recording. I am going to attempt to transcribe Frank Foster's solo from Monk's We See on the 1954 album "Monk". So, I am at the point of listening to the tune over and over. I already have the tune well ingrained since I play it pretty regularly and I play the melody from memory with no issues so I thougt it would be a good tune to try this with. Frank's solo isn't going to be the easiest but it seems at least possible for my feeble musical brain.

Thanks for the heads up.

As for my transcription project, the beauty of being a hack hobbyist is that nobody has any expectations. I plan to go at this a little at a time and try to enjoy the process. No rush for me.

A few recent additions that I have been enjoying. I think Bird Calls is my favourite release thus far from Rudresh.
