To make up for the exceptionally light posting this week, and to follow up the Roy Haynes transcription round-up, here’s an extra special solo from In Walked Bud, on Thelonious Monk’s Misterioso, which I first transcribed off of the LP in 1988 when I was in the jazz program at USC. It’s a classic example, maybe the classic example of melodic drumming, with Haynes closely playing off the melody of the tune.
