Frank Zappa's "Dupree's Paradise" Walt Fowler Trumpet SoloTranscription

One morning back in 1991 I was driving to school at Santa Barbara City College, and playing a cassette that a good friend, that knew I loved Frank Zappa, gave to me. Frank Zappa's "Make a Jazz Noise Here." I was hearing it for the first time and this solo came on. I was blown away by this solo for so many reasons. The speed of the groove, that it's in 5 ....or 10/8..... or a bar of 2/4 and a bar of 6/8 alternating, depending on how you'd like to count it.) But more importantly I was blown away by Walt's sense of time and how he was able to phrase so cleanly at such a ridiculous speed. And how his phrases seemed to dance over the shifting downbeat. Then I totally obsessed on this solo, rewinding it so many times that I was eventually able to consistently hold the rewind button exactly long enough to get to the beginning of Walt's solo again. I played it every day going to school for some time and I kept thinking "I should transcribe this solo. Fast Forward 30 years and I finally got to it. How's that for procrastination? It took being stuck at home for a year for me t finally to do the work, and it was a lot of work. Writing it out certainly took a while, but playing it enough, so I could play it at the speed of the original solo took a LOT more time. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm ready to let go and work on another transcription. (Especially after looping certain licks for 20-30 minutes with my slowdown app, and finally getting them clean, only to realize that I was still at only 80% of the normal break neck speed. ) I don't imagine this is anything less then super human to play on a Trumpet, but one things for sure, some of the altissimo passages are virtually impossible to play on a tenor sax at full speed. (At least with where my technique is at today.) I would dare to say that there are few mortal human beings that could improvise a solo like that on Trumpet besides Walt Fowler. Especially with his laser precise phrasing.
