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!
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! Thank you for checking out this transcription!

This is Joe Farnsworth's drum trades on the tune "I'm Old Fashioned" (Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer 1942) from David Hazeltine's album Close To You (2004). The Album features David Hazeltine on Piano, Peter Washington on bass and Joe Farnsworth on the drums. Joe takes 8's and 12's over the form and plays excellent ideas with pure swing, this solo is a masterclass in trading over a form on the drums. Bear in mind that this is my humble transcription of the trades on this tune and if you really want to deep dive into Joe's playing you should go a head and listen to his records and transcribe yourself.
