It was merely a bold attempt to analyze the tune and therefore it's essential no to stick to the chart too literally but "go with the flow". The song has been covered by several jazz musicians (e.g. Joshua Redman, Branford Marsalis and Joe Lovano) but I haven't seen the tune in any fake book around. Guess it's high time to fill in the gap. The rhythmic phrasing of alto sax in Coda is transcribed hastily and should be revised. Please share your thoughts on the chart - all suggestions are welcome!

The D note in the alto sax staff should be F (minor 3rd up) instead. :) Ville  HalfNelson Re:Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman submitted: 2010/02/20 08:18:22 revised: 2010/02/20 08:46:43   click here to display PDF in a new window   Yo! Here's another interpretation of the tune. The rhytmic values in the chart are primarily a subjective interpretation of the theme than a metrically precise transcription. Although the horns play the melody in rubato, the drums play in a somewhat strict tempo for heads and solos. Best, Ville  Bwanasonic Re:Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman submitted: 2010/06/03 18:39:53 revised: 2010/06/03 18:39:53 Thanks for this transcription. I've spent a couple of days working this out on guitar, and I was close, but now I've really honed in on it! ;) I love the mix of eastern european and blues feels in this tune. I do prefer the first pdf notation with separate alto, cornet and bass parts. Thanks again for your time and effort! Log in to Post or Reply
