![]() ![]() I hope you like it and thanks again for John Blevins in taking the time to transcribe this great solo. For those of you interested, I read that Wilton Felder played a King Super 20 tenor sax with a Berg Larsen 105/0 mouthpiece. Check it out! The solo starts at the 5:28 minute mark of the video. Felder does a great job of nailing the changes on this solo. He could have easily taken the route of just playing over the chords using the G blues scale like so many players do but Mr. It’s obvious while looking at the transcription and listening to the solo that Wilton Felder was no slouch on these changes either. Wilton Felder’s tenor sax solo is a classic. I’m not sure how many times I heard this tune but even now when I hear it I feel like I’m 12 years old riding in the back of my parents car! Even now 36 years later this tune still rocks! This album was released in 1979 which would have made me 12 at the time. The tune is Street Life and hit #36 on the Billboard charts. This is a great sax solo by Wilton Felder who was the cofounder of the Crusaders. John has graciously sent me a number of his transcriptions this last week and given me permission to share them with the sax world on my site here. These two books are filled with great modern 16th note lines in all 12 keys that you can learn and use while soloing.Here’s another great solo transcription from John Blevins. If you like these types of modern lines like I do, be sure to check out my Devastating Lines for Jazz and Funk Soloing for Minor and Dominant Grooves. A couple of months ago I received an email asking me if I could transcribe Dexter Gordon’s solo on You Stepped Out of a Dream from the Youtube video below with Dexter Gordon and Oscar Peterson.

This is such a great tenor mouthpiece! Plays super even in all registers, and burns in the altissimo register. Here is Mike’s quote about the Boston Sax Shop R-Series tenor saxophone mouthpiece (I have not reviewed this BSS R-Series mouthpiece as of yet) he is playing on this clip: He has been touring with Arturo Sandoval for the last four years. Mike Tucker sounded amazing and I have been a fan ever since! Here is Mike Tucker’s website if you want to find out more information on him. ![]() It had a “Live at the Lighthouse Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman sound” to the recording with Mike Tucker on the tenor sax and George Garzone on the soprano sax. I first heard of Mike Tucker years ago when I came upon a recording of Mike playing a gig with George Garzone. It goes by pretty quick so be prepared……. Actually, the whole reason for this transcription was for me to get that tasty altissimo A line on measures 26-27. I can’t resist transcribing these short solos as I can do them pretty quickly and this one caught my attention immediately with the altissimo A lick at the :30 mark. This is a short but sweet one chorus solo on the changes to the tune “Confirmation” by Charlie Parker. ![]() Here is another transcription of a great Mike Tucker tenor saxophone solo that Mike posted on Instagram a few days ago. ![]()
