"I see what you mean. Mostly the book gives recording dates and personnel. Comments suggesting the common identity of two different titles are incidental. I have enjoyed perusing the book.  I don't know if a definitive account of banjo…"

"Don't know.  Here is the problem, in this situation I have the notation and the recording.  I can listen to the recording and read the notation and find that they are completely different, but the things I cannot compare I cannot…"

"Hi Brett, as I commented on the video, this is not "The Blackthorns", not even close.  But it is a great solo and I wish I had the score for whatever it is as I like it. Thank you for sharing it! You mentioned "the book", do…"

Jazzbo's Holiday - accompaniment part

Hello Everyone,I have the solo part (both finger and plectrum - only photocopies I'm afraid) for Jazzbo's Holiday and just got a copy of Chris Sands books of Tarrant Bailey Jnr's Banjo Solos (Mel Bay), expecting a piano and possibly (if we were really lucky) a 2nd band or guitar accompaniment part to come with everything.  Sadly they aren't included.  Some great solos, but no music for the accompaniments.  It has tablature (which I'd rather be without - as for me it's totally unnecessary and…See More

"Yah, this isn't abridged, just a few measures changed. Probably just enough to get away with calling it "a new arrangement" rather than a copy."

IAN SALTER replied to Brett Lowe's discussion Another great recording
"It sounds to me, very much like Vineleaf Jig, number 44 in Turner's 60 Breakdowns, Jigs & Hornpipes."

Joel Hooks replied to Brett Lowe's discussion Another great recording
"I'm wiling to bet that the one in the music library was pulled from one of the Turner's Album things.  I find that many of the pieces in those albums are abridged in some way when compared to the full sheet music. "

"I enjoyed looking thru both. The Turner's version is for two banjos, of course. The 'unknown' (Grimshaw?) version is solo and different enough to cause me some issues (I've been keying both into Musescore). The Turner version is…"
