SOLO TRANSCRIPTIONS

What do you do when you're trapped in your house with a pandemic in progress? Go transcribe jazz solos. I admit, I hadn't done any since college. Funny though, understanding the solos was a lot easier this time around. It wasn't just an exercise in hearing the notes and rhythms and putting them to paper. Anyway, hope you enjoy these. There are probably some mistakes to be sure, so send me your fixes!
