Michael Brecker tenor saxophone solo transcription on Moose the Mooche from Mel Lewis – Mel Lewis and Friends (1977) album, recorded June 8 and 9 and mixed June 18, 1976 at Generation Sound, NYC.
Moose The Mooche is a bebop composition written by Charlie Parker in 1946. This composition is in the key of B♭ major and has a 32-bar AABA structure. The chord progression is based on the I Got Rhythm changes and makes extensive use of the ii-V-I turnaround.
There are bflat and concert versions of this Michael Brecker solo transcription on Moose The Mooche, available at transcriptions page.
