AnotetoallthePepperAdamsfansoutthere…

These transcriptions were done a little over a decade ago out of my love,respectandadmirationforPepperAdams.Hismusicality,harmonicconcept,senseofswing,intensityandhumoraretrulyanotchaboveeveryoneelse,whichiswhyheissospecial.Ihavespecificallyleftoutanyandallarticulations.Eventhoughonecouldattempt tophysicallywrite somethingonto themanuscriptpaper, I feel themusicrequiresustolearnitasitshouldbelearned…byabsorptionandassimilationthroughlistening.TotrulyunderstandhowPepper’snotesandphrasesareplayedrequires dedicated listening. Pepper’s improvisational voice was so unique andstrong. I suggest taking the time to listen toeach solo first; then listenagainandfollowalongonthetranscriptionmakinganynotesyoumaywish.Onlyafterthesesteps are done should you pick up your horn… Beyond this, the chord changesshownareareflectionofwhatIperceivedPeppertobethinkingandplaying…I’veattemptedtostayasclosetothestandardchangesfoundonthesetuneswheneverpossible.ItshouldbestatedthatPepperhadafondnessfortheDiminishedandtheTritone substitution in addition to the concept of ascending inminor 3rds over aMinororDominantchordorevenoveratwo-fivepassage.

Transcribing is a personal venture. These aremy interpretations ofwhatI’veheard. Shouldyoudisagreewith thewaywithwhich I’venotated something,that is completely acceptable, however, please change it in yourown score. If bychanceyou’vefoundaglaringmistake,pleasejustletmeknowanditwillbefixed.ThankyouandENJOYunlockingPEPPERADAMS!
