The third of my Kid Ory transcriptions comes from a 1953 recording. Although 8 years later than the previous 2 transcriptions it is interesting to note that his style has remained unchanged.
Again the structure of the solo is very simple – the second half is basically a repeat of the first. The notes chosen are mainly simple chord tones (ie C, Ab, F for most F minor chords). As this is a much slower tune than the previous 2 Ory does change his sound – there is widespread use of flutter tounging which achieves a more ‘down and dirty’ sound.
One more Ory transcription to follow. I’ll then move on to another player.
