~~~ Solo Chord Melody Arrangements ~~~
recorded during the pandemic


Strollin'

​~

This is a chord-melody arrangement of
Horace Silver's classic: Strollin'
This arrangement is based on a transcription I made of Emily Remler's version of Strollin'
Emily and Horace are two of my favorites!




Joy Spring
~
Joy Spring is classic Clifford Brown tune. My first encounter of Joy Spring was with Joe Pass. Later I learned Harold Land, the tenor sax on the recording of Clifford Brown & Max Roach, was the author of the introduction. I learned that intro from a great musician Chris Whiteman, and that launched my arrangement of Joy Spring.

Monk's Mood
~
​
​Monk's Mood... 
This arrangement was inspired by
Steve Masakowski

Giant Steps from Footprints
~
This is a medley of two iconic jazz standards:
Footprints (by Wayne Shorter) and
Giant Steps (by John Coltrane).
While studying quartal harmonies, I was goofing around one day and this just happened.
This was not formally arranged it was improvised and I was blown away.
