Herbie Hancock: Empty Pockets

As the pianist, Bijan must transcribe not only the piano solo and the piano break, but the chord progression, and additionally every single chord harmony that Herbie utilizes- including the comping during his solo and the 2-handed voicings during Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordon's solos, as well as the melody and intro.

    Student B: Bijan Taghavi

    I thought you guys might find it beneficial to have the option to see what I am working on. Yes, I am a student of music and will always be, as jazz is an endless language filled with new, adventurous explorations in various harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic ideas. Also to realize that I practice what I preach may vindicate you, for example, establishing the basics and growing logistically, and listening!
