Transcription: Elvin Jones – Chasin’ the Trane – 05

Here is part 5 of this transcription— the 25th-30th choruses of Elvin Jones playing Chasin’ the Trane, from John Coltrane Live at the Village Vanguard. The transcription begins at 4:38 in the track. We’re nearing 1/3 of the way through. 

We’re seeing more of the same basic things, with a few more notes here and there that don’t transcribe real well. I’m noticing lots of accents on the & of 1/& of 4 in the same measure, often in the third measure of a phrase. The tempo has apparently picked up a little bit, to around quarter note = 244.
