We all know Donna Lee is a fun yet fast jazz standard to improvise over. Ryan Kisor takes this trumpet challenge to the next level with plenty of triplets in low and high ranges. As always with Ryan Kisor, he likes to take patterns outside the box which means there are some nice licks to take advantage of in this trumpet transcription.
Donna Lee by Charlie Parker/Miles Davis – off the album ‘Donna Lee’ by Ryan Kisor
This is a nice Dexter Gordon tenor sax transcription over Blue Bossa by Kenny Dorham. Blue Bossa is a really fun jazz standard to improvise over. Minor changes going into a nice ii V7 I. There are a lot of ii V7 I licks to grab from this transcription that sound so natural. Dexter also uses a lot of pentatonic licks and keeps the solo moving smoothly.
Dexter’s solo is followed by nice piano and bass solos.
This is a really nice trumpet transcription of Ryan Kisor playing over the tune “I’ll Close My Eyes”. It’s quite a relaxing trumpet solo and tune. This recording is off the album ‘Kisor II’ by Ryan Kisor.
There are lots of outside pattern licks in this trumpet solo. I hope you enjoy.
