I recently came across James Mahone’s Practice Portal blog. James writes about music, and frequently includes mp3s and, often, lead sheets and solo transcriptions. Three examples:
- Yusef Lateef’s Koko’s Tune
- Kenny Garrett’s Rendition of Trane’s Liberia
- Abbey Lincoln’s Bird Alone (including a transcription of Stan Getz’s great solo)
A lot of other stuff is there and he adds new posts all the time. I’m really looking forward to tackling Bird Alone; it’s a great ballad.
As always, of course, ymmv. Enjoy!
