Here is my transcription of Jerry Bergonzi's solo on "Long Ago and Far Away" (Ira Gershwin/Jerome Kern) from Dave Brubeck's album "Paper Moon". The album was recorded four decades ago, in September 1981 at Coast Recorders, San Francisco, CA.
I had transcribed this years ago, but had misplaced some of the manuscript. To honor the 40th anniversary of this great solo I decided to put it in Finale.
Brubeck plays some dominant function diminished chords in some sections, but I decided to not add them. There's such clarity in Bergonzi's lines that the harmony could be anything and the solo would still sound great.
