Finally finished transcribing Al Cohn’s version of Georgia (with the maestro Barry Harris on piano).

This is the first song I’ve transcribed on my own. It was a monster, but there is so much awesome stuff in this song and I’m so glad I did it.

Matching Al Cohn’s playing took some practice, and I’m almost there. His style is so relaxed, but so technical at the same time. A very underrated saxophonist who has become a favorite player to listen to.

Can’t wait to transcribe more of his work.

Weekend in review...

Been surfing at this man made wave pool recently (URBNSURF). Such an awesome place. Consistent waves, welcoming and inclusive culture and a great vibe all round.

It’s fair to say I’m addicted to coming here to surf.

Lots of good stories to tell. Always.

I’ve set myself a task of listening to a saxophonist I haven’t heard of each week. This week is Jimmy Forrest. I really love his bluesy sound.

Had a great day surfing today at Torquay beach. Stood up a few times and rode waves for more than a split second. It was super fun.

Downside is that I hit some rocks with my foot, which is now quite sore.

Spent the day with an old rowing friend that I haven’t physically seen in 13 years. It was so great to reconnect.

Really great day overall.
