    Default Wynton Kelly Transcription

    Here is pianist Wynton Kelly's solo on the Hank Mobley tune "This I Dig of You". This cut is from Mobley's wonderful album "Soul Station".

    This solo is very melodic, with lots of Bebop lines and just a bit of outside playing.

    I arranged the solo for 5 string mandolin. Because Kelly plays a lot of the solo in a very high register, I transposed it an octave lower from measure 15 to the end.

    The solo PDF is here

    The solo can be heard here


    I will post a video of me playing this solo slow when I return from Weiser.

    Thanks, Pete - I've actually been listening to this album a lot lately, and love everything Wynton does.

    Wynton, along with Red Garland and Bill Evans did much to advance piano playing in the late 50s and early 60s. I've really studied their rootless comping styles.

    I have a LOT of recording by all three and listen to them, plus Wes Montgomery, religiously.

    Here is the video of me playing the solo slowly, about 1/2 speed.
