This is a transcription of Billy Higgins on the famous Cedar Walton tune "Bolivia" . The notation starts 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the track with the last 4 bars from the previous B-Section.  Higgins plays a lot of smooth buzzrolls with his left hand on the snare and with either his left, right or both hands buzzed on the ride cymbals during the following A-Section. The Transcription ends with 4 bars from the following B-Section. This is my humble take on notating what Billy played during this part of the song and I recommend you listen to the records and transcribe a lot of Higgins yourself to dive deeper into the beat, comping and feeling of the great Billy Higgins!

This is Philly Joe Jones playing on the tune "Temperance" from the great Wynton Kelly record "Kelly at midnight" (1960). Philly takes a total of 10 trades in his own very swingin' well known style.  If you want to dive deeper into the playing of Philly Joe Jones i suggest you listen to all the great records and remember that this is just my humble transcription.  There is also the Philly Joe Jones solo book written by Joerg Eckel that you should check out if you're a Philly Joe Jones fan.  Thank you for checking out this transcription!

This is from Joe Farnsworth playing on Max Roach old Hollywood drums shared on Instragram. He plays a solo in the style of Max Roach himself.  Remember that if you want to dive deeper in the playing of Farnsworth or Roach that the key is to listen yourself and that this is just my humble transcription. Here is the solo: Here is a link to the video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ0rWbaAd88/ Thanks for checking out this transcription.

This is a transcription of the song "A Beautiful Friendship" by the master Joe Farnsworth.  The song is on the record "Blue Gardenia" by saxophonist Charles Davis with the Cedar Walton Trio. Farnsworth takes a smoking hot chorus over the tune in a medium up tempo and this is the result.  Bear in mind that this is my humble transcription of the solo and if you really want to deep dive in to Farnsworths playing you should do so with your own ears and not just simply trust my notation.  Thank you for checking out this transcription!
