By George Benson. By Leon Russell. Arranged by Michael Brecker and Pat Metheny. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Jazz. Individual part. 8 pages. [email protected] #1412300. Published by [email protected] (A0.1852660).This Masquerade – Transcribed Solos (Metheny / Brecker / Svensson)
This transcription captures a remarkable live performance of This Masquerade, featuring an all-star lineup led by Pat Metheny, with Michael Brecker, Esbjörn Svensson, and vocalist Nils Landgren.
Following Landgren’s expressive vocal interpretation, the performance unfolds into a series of outstanding instrumental solos. This edition includes carefully transcribed solos by Brecker, Svensson, and Metheny—three distinct voices at the highest level of modern jazz improvisation.
Michael Brecker’s solo stands out for its rhythmic sophistication, harmonic depth, and unmistakable phrasing, offering invaluable insight into post-bop language. Esbjörn Svensson brings a unique European perspective, blending lyrical sensitivity with subtle reharmonization and modern textures. Pat Metheny’s solo provides a masterclass in melodic development, storytelling, and tonal nuance.
These solos are not only musically compelling but also highly educational. They offer advanced jazz musicians a rare opportunity to study three contrasting improvisational approaches within the same musical context.
Perfect for saxophonists, pianists, guitarists, and all serious students of jazz, this transcription serves both as a performance resource and a deep study material in contemporary jazz language.
Music by Leon Russell. Transcribed by László Kálmán ([email protected]).
