    Bebop articulation at its best - Phil Woods solo on Walkin' analysis

    In this video, I analyse the 'language' that made Phil Woods one of the best alto sax players in the history of jazz.

    His articulation and dynamic control are so detailed and under control all the time. Every single line of the solo is a great starting point to understand and learn how to play bebop.

    The transcription PDF is available on my website in Bb, Eb, and Concert.
