Roditi’s “Free Wheelin'” (Complete Album Transcription) By Claudio Roditi
$19.99
Digital Download
This complete album, note-for-note transcription of Claudio Roditi’s Free Wheelin’ (The Music of Lee Morgan) is part of a tremendous project by Adrian Ruiz to transcribe the complete discography of this legendary performer. In collaboration with the Roditi estate, qPress will be bringing you the definitive series of his albums with notable forwards and liner notes whenever possible.
Bob Bernotas’ original liner notes from this recording are included, and the anecdotes are enlightening. “When I heard Lee Morgan,” Claudio recalls, “there was something in his playing that I just fell in love with. Many, many years later, I finally figured out what I liked so much. First of all, it’s his rhythmic approach. It’s very close to Latin music, Brazilian music. Also, his sound is not an inward sound. It reaches out.”
And now, Claudio, a confident, mature artist with his own, identifiable style, decided to honor this master musician by performing some of his finest compositions. Keep in mind, these are not recreations, but original interpretations of Morgan’s music—the most valuable tribute that one jazz artist can pay another.
This edition includes the complete album transcription by Adrian Ruiz, liner notes by Bob Bernotas, and a foreword by Mark Feldman. Have a look at some sample pages to the left, then click above for an immediate digital download.
