Trumpet Solo Transcription Resource

The Internet is full of great, free resources. One of my favorites is www.JazzTrumpetSolos.com.

They have some great solos transcribed, and the best part is you can listen to audio clips of the solo right from the web site.

Trumpet players of all styles are featured, from Clifford Brown's Sandu to Lew Soloff's solo on Spinning Wheel.

While this web site is a great learning tool, it should not be used as a replacement for your own transcribing. Transcribing solos and horn lines is an excellent ear training exercise that will do wonders for your tonal memory. It is tedious at the beginning, but will soon get easier with practice.
