Today I decided to share with you my transcription of Clifford Brown’s solo on Gertrude’s Bounce. Picking up a chorus, or transcribing a solo, is a long process<\/strong>, but essential in learning how to improvise in jazz<\/strong>.

Clifford Brown is an exceptional trumpeter born in 1930 and died prematurely in 1956 in a car accident.
