Reed has put my transcription of George Benson's solo on the Charlie Parker F
blues tune "Billie's Bounce" in a PDF file format available at the following
URL:

WARNING: THIS SOLO IS 11 FULL CHORUSES IN LENGTH, THEREFORE IT TAKES UP 500K
IN SPACE
If you have the space (and the Adobe Acrobat Reader) I think you will like
it. I have purposely left the chord changes off the transcription, you will
be able to figure them out if you know the basic changes for F blues (besides
it will stretch your ears a little).
The CD I transcribed it from was the "Walkman Jazz" compilation of early
George Benson recordings. The sidemen were: Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter,
Billy Cobham, and Johnny Pacheco (congas). Please let me know what you
think!
