I'm Adam Mace. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll

Here at podcast. Daily Jazz Advice coming at you.

That's right.

What do we got going on?

Well, first, what do you hear?

Wait, do you have an ice coffee? I do. I have a special friend who brought me an ice coffee. Finally. You wore me down. Man, this is good. It's really good, right? Big shout out to Squatters. Squatters Cafe next door to our open studio studios.

Oh, don't tell them where we are, man.

They can be coming for us.

They can be coming for that jazz advice now. We are lucky to have a really fine restaurant next to it. Absolutely. Okay, so what are we talking about today? Today, we are taking a question from you'll hear it.com. General reminder, you can always go to you'll hear it.com. You can also go to you'll hearit.com to leave us a suggestion for future episodes. And that's exactly what a listener did in this case, which is. No guarantees we're going to do it. But we often do. We've been known to. Yeah, no guarantees that we won't do it either. That's right. So this is from Medi in Paris. I apologize if I said you name

me correctly. But the question is really enjoying the podcasts and the great advice. I'm a professional

guitarist from Tunisia living in Paris, France. Out of curiosity, it's also a question my students.

Ask me a lot, what are, according to you, the best 10 jazz solos worth transcribing to improve as an improviser? Solos that teach something unique about phrasing, rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic ideas, thanks. 10? 10. Does he not listen to the podcast? You know, well, he did put 10 and then a question mark, like kind of a request. I'm actually thinking, let's stretch a little bit here today. We're going to give him an extra three. All right, we're going to go symmetrical here in tens. All right, let's try. You don't seem not happy about it, but, you know. Well, I mean, I fear change is all I'm saying. All right, so this is going to be our 10 best solos to transcribe and i like the way he

asked it saying something unique about phrasing rhythmic melodic and harmonic ideas because i think

that all those things a great solo you're going to get those unique things about that that's a big

part of what we're getting of course the other part is the ear training which you're going to get from learning things about that. That's a big part of what we're getting. Of course, the other part is the ear training,

which you're going to get from learning any solo. But certainly focusing in on the unique phrasing and harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic ideas is the way to go. Absolutely. And I think this list, I dare say we've compiled a nice little list here, you know? I mean, there's hundreds we left off, if not thousands. But this is a nice list of tried and true.

Certainly there's going to be a, if not thousands, but this is a nice list of tried and true.

Certainly, there's going to be a few that you've heard us speak about here, but there's a reason for that. Yeah. Because they're good. Yeah, they're good. And they're accessible, which can be very helpful for beginners. Yeah. And then what's nice too is if you've been listening to the podcast and maybe you hadn't heard some of these tracks and we talked about them in another episode, they're already in your ear, which is always nice.

That's right. Yeah, I mean, one on my... too is if you've been listening to the podcast and maybe you hadn't heard some of these tracks and we talked about them in another episode they're already in your ear which is always nice

that's right yeah I mean one of the most important things about transcribing any solo is the singability

of it you have to listen to it enough that you can sing it ideally before you start transcribing it

so number one is listen there you go actually number one is uh Miles Davis bags
