I wasn’t going to go looking for the drum notations (sorry Jimmy Cobb), but I did find the sheet music for Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bi…

this is pretty amazing.
This is beautiful
Love these visualizations of jazz music scores. This one is So What? Miles
Davis with John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and
Jimmy Cobb (although his drum notation is missing…).
*Animated Sheet Music: “So What” by Miles Davis (Clean Audio)*
Via +Ugo Valentini – reposted here with better quality audio track.
If you have several minutes, take a look at this — it’s best with head
phones, of course. An all time great jazz standard and a wonderful way to
listen, watch and understand.
I love animated sheet music.
Yes indeed, a public service….
For me this is one of the best jazz solos ever recorded. Miles was an
innovator as well as a destroyer of convention. He dared to be different as
well as he dared to be destroyed himself. PRADO
Brilliant!
Amazing, it clearly brings music to life.
Why is there a low Eb in the bass just before the theme?
Lowest note on Bass is E natural -
Thanks
Dan, if you don’t mind, What program or software are you using to create
these? SV
Nobody needs to learn transcriptions of other musicians solos. With one
great exception: This one. And some other by Miles. And some more by Miles.
Coltrane’s and Adderley’s solos shit all over Miles’.
Oh yes I did.
the liner noted for “Kind of Blue” were written by Bill Evans and in them
he talks about how, at the sessions, Miles came in with the chords sketched
on a napkin (or some such) and the guys just played to the sketch. He also
says that all the songs were first or second takes. These charts are
transcriptions of what was recorded, not the blueprint for the recording.
it just blows my MIND that these guys were in the same place at the same
time and just DID this.

Could you send me a PDF of the sheet music?
