On Green Dolphin Street - Eric Dolphy Transcription

Great transcription! Very helpful.

Quelle excellente idée de mettre par écrit ce super titre ! Mais le constat est cruel. Dolphy est un génie et moi pas... Merci pour les doigtés alternatifs et stratosphériques même s'ils ne sonnent pas toujours au mieux sur ma buffet ante-diluvienne.
Encore merci et continuez à publier ces vidéos toujours passionnantes.

This was a great challenge that made me grow as a bass clarinetist. It even helped me grow on soloing on my tenor sax for jazz. This improved my subdividing in my fast runs thank for the transcription loved it.

i picked this piece for a chambers solo, this transcription was super helpful and easy to read, most of the time if i find something too hard i give up but i really really want to play this piece! such a great piece and such an amazing transcription!

the first time I listened to Eric Dolphy, I though "this is no more jazz" (in 1965)lol

At the second time, I though:"this is great, rush, modern, imaginative and soulful. Each time I listen to him, same comment. Love his music...

This is a delightful way to learn how to improvise, by copying/playing what the greats have done and I appreciate the availability of this solo

Mike, You seem like a trustworthy person. I find that far and few between these days. Thank you for your candor, artistry and honesty. I am enjoying learning many new clarinet things.

Thank You,
Dave Schaefer

HARD to play….but super fun!!!

If you are into the bass clarinet, you are already a step ahead. Now that you are hip to this web site, you are miles ahead!

Exactly what I asked for. Thanks for delivering quality as always!

Hi Michael,
I love bass clarinet (playing a Selmer Model 33 low C), I love Eric Dolphy and his genius musicality, I love many of the videos and blogs of earspasm. And of course I love the transcription of Dolphy's solo on "On Green Dolphin Street", altho I'd never be able to play it for my own.
Best wishes and thank you very much,
Otfried

Excellent! Thanks for all the work!

Amazing to transcribe such genius!

Good to read transcription. Delivered via email flawlessly.

Nice little tune to knock around with.

This thing is a beast. I'm gonna look over it now and then. Love Dolphy this must've taken forever. Much respect

great!

Thanks Michael. Your Dolphy transcription is perfectly annotated--even including his fingerings. What a great gift for those of us studying the masters.

Amazon transcription! I'm having a lot of fun studying and platino it. And it's for free! Thank you very much!

Thank you

Review of the Eric Dolphy transcription on "Green Dolphin Street–
Great to see this transcription, and the care that went into its presentation. Having the "alternate– fingering version included gives a wonderful insight into how Dolphy approached the tune. And the fingering addendum is much appreciated.
I would encourage anyone else to do their own transcription, even of this tune, just to improve your ear. If you transcribe some of this tune (before reading thru it), you can then compare it to what Michael has done: kind of like having access to the teacher's edition of a textbook, but much cooler!

So fun to play, and the transcription was massively helpful!

great score

This is cool!

I was impressed by your transcription technique (as seen in your video), but it appears too complicated for me to try it. The result you obtained with Dolphy music is however excellent.

This is a great transcription by the master. When you think that you don't need to practice….Check Eric Dolphy out!!!

Thanks for sharing this piece!

Hello Michael, great transcription! Especially as there are only few transcriptions of Dolphy-solos. Unfortunately not playable for me. (By the way: your version of "Summertime" is awesome!) Best wishes from Munich (Germany), Norbert

The Eric Dolphy transcription is a vital supplement to the two related videos. There's a lot of internet instrument gurus- particularly saxophonists but Michael Lowenstern combines a commitment to the pursuit of excellence with a sheer enjoyment in music making. A great example to those of us who will never match his achievement.

I really appreciated the fingering charts you supplied for the alternative fingerings!

Thanks for the sharing of insights and knowledge via your site.

Great job, a must !

As always very challenging for bass clarinet lovers !

The video with plenty of informations is top !

Thanks Michael

Great transcription, thanks!
