Patrick Bartley Solo Transcription | 'Singin' in the Rain' | Live From Emmet's Place Vol. 97

I haven't uploaded an Emmet's Place transcription in a while, so I decided to transcribe this beautiful Patrick Bartley solo from this weeks stream.

Emmet's Place Vol.97:

Patrick Bartley- Saxophone
Emmet Cohen- Piano
Yasushi Nakamura - Bass
Kyle Poole- Drums

I’m pretty convinced that Patrick Bartley is not from our present time. He’s straight up a time traveler from the 40s who’s come to teach jazz musicians how to solo again! Absolutely phenomenal playing!

[spacejazz]

every solo this man produces is a masterclass. Precise, musical and with a clear beginning middle and end. you'd honestly be forgiven for thinking they were pre written

[BaileyFamFC]

Great transcription of a (typically) sublime solo. The world needs to put a Kickstarter together to get Patrick and Baptiste Herbin on the stage at the same time.

[DeepCrossing]

So deeply rooted in the roots of jazz, yet looking ahead at the same time. Encyclopaedic knowledge of jazz language.

[bigal]

Possibly the most melodic solo I've ever heard - And the subtleties in the phrasing are just to die for this guy is way too good

[simonsays]

At 2:11 Patrick goes up then Emmet goes down. Such a great moment.
Also 2:25 when Patrick goes down Emmet up at the same time. Emmet heard the moment too.

This solo just blows me away. What strikes me is that its one of the best solos I've heard, and also one of the simplest! Also, it's so so melodic, and he uses space and motifs so masterfully, will definitely keep coming back to this as a reminder of what makes a great solo!

[richardgrady]

Patrick is something else! What a happy feeling to have music back again!

[evans]

Every time he's back at the start he comes up with a different

[kevinpace]

the most replayed part honestly gives me goose bumps, patrick is insane

[thomasgrady]

Earl bostic vibes on this one. What a killer solo

[sbaiar]

Damn, you are a master!! Complete and total hats off to you, my friend!

Mr. Bartley is an absolute beast. He has class that I haven't heard on the horn from any living player. I feel like I can learn as much from this transcription as I would from the bird book. Props, and thanks for posting.

Edit: Dare I invoke Cannonball? I feel like I'm hearing something akin to when he's recorded playing with Nat.

[davidschauer]

this man can sing on the sax like nobody i've ever heard. solos always tell stories but pat does it in a way that i cant even begin to describe

[cashglobe]

This is such an amazing solo... just wow. Thanks for the transcription!

[hansengunawan]

I’m an alto player who generally enjoys playing other genres asides jazz even though I studied Jazz before but damn sitting down and listening to Patrick’s soloing really inspires me to go into religiously practicing jazz stuff again to get closer to his playing

[high-defRJ]

I’ve met Patrick before, after a gig in Tokyo (before his move) in just before COVID struck in 2020.
His solos are jaw dropping; it’s melodic and him really singing it through sax. I got a degree in jazz but I think a good amount of us just want to flex on our knowledge of scales and arpeggiating runs, but Patrick keeps it simple and and rhythmical. This solo just proves his greatness.

Unbelievable solo, thanks for posting

He plays with a soaring lyricism lacking in most younger players today
