Tristano Transcriptions
Hello! Chances are you're here for some Lennie Tristano transcriptions, and I have them here for you.
As part of my Masters thesis I transcribed nearly all of Tristano's solos over the chords to All Of Me. Tristano recorded this set of chords as several different names - Background Music is a melody written for the chords by the great tenor player Warne Marsh; I'm No Good Without You is a line from the lyrics, Momentum is just the same thing but without a melody, and Line Up is...well, Line Up. You know how it goes.
I've transcribed 29 choruses and they're all here. I haven't transcribed the version of Background Music from the 1964 album "Continuity" as I didn't feel it was representative Tristano, instead, all of these transcriptions come from the period 1949-1955.
