Bass Line Transcriptions

Ok @TNKA36, @T_dub, @joergkutter - here’s the nice file with TAB.
I have a video I’ll post soon as I can that can be helpful - it’s on upright though (definitely a fun line to play, @PamPurrs!).

@joergkutter - the coolest chord substitution / harmonization that I love in this is what Paul Chambers plays in the turnaround. He never plays a straight F to an Eb during the F7 to Eb7 turnaround bars. Almost every time he has a cool rhythm thing he does (quarter note to two eighths) and he plays this harmony instead:
| Cm7 F7 | Bbm7 Eb7 | Ab7…
And the way that Wynton Kelly plays off of that in the piano is so damn cool.

Like a behind the scenes look at a brilliant conversation.

Enjoy all, and holler if there are any questions.
