It was my first or second semester at Berklee and I was really wanting to get Cherokee down and burnin’ fast. I remember taking the lines and concepts and transposing them to the alto key and trying to get them mastered. i spent thousands of hours on these lines and over the course of time the transcription was destroyed or lost. This is another solo that could keep you busy for a few years. It’s not enough to just play through the solo and get it up to speed. You really want to take apart the lines, understand the concepts and transpose them to other keys to really get them mastered and into your own playing. Steve Neff has been playing and teaching saxophone and jazz improvisation around the New England area for the last 25 years. He is the author of many effective jazz improvisation methods as well as founding the popular jazz video lesson site Neffmusic.
