Plus he did some great albums under his own name.įrom Charles' "Keeper of the Spirit" cd 05 (on YT)įrom Charles' "Live at Zanzibar Blue" 02 cd (on YT):įrom Charles' "The Proper Angle" 92 cd (on YT)Īttach a sheet for Charles' "Dolores Carla Maria" comp (which was included for free with his "Proper Angle" 91 cd). Charles was a bassist from PA that played with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, McCoy Tyner and Jerry Gonzalez's Fort Apache Band. They're definately worth doing (but the chords are hard to nail down). Hardly any of the late Charles Fambrough's excellent compositions have been transcribed. This post contains the following attachment types: The "swing"/"balanço" feel Florin Niculescu (violin), Babik & Romane get on "Cheyenne" is fantastic. There's only ever been one recording of "Cheyenne" on a 98 album:

If anyone fancies having a go, please do! Or even doing a more "normal" lead-sheet job on it. The solos from "Cheyenne" need transcribing, but that's beyond me. (its original comps though - not "standards") Worth checking out Babik's "Sinti Houn Brazil" 73 album for starters: There's a long affinity between Manouche and Brazilian music (at least as far as Manouche musicians doing nice arrangements of the Bossa standards). His chords/feel is more ethereal than a lot of the other Manouche guitar maestros. Babik could be called the Pat Metheny of Manouche/Sinti Jazz. One of the very best compositions in this genre (to be ranked alongside the much better known "Bossa Dorado" by Dorado Schmitt). This is a phenominal Gypsy Bossa Nova by Django Reinhardt's second son, Babik. "Cheyenne" Babik Reinhardt (Manouche Bossa Nova)

Only ever recorded once in 2001 by Quarteto Maogani (Brazil's premier Guitar Quartet, who do stunning arrangements in their own right) - see: Surpisingly no formal sheets were ever prepared for it. To work out the chords for this took a lot of skill. A young Brazilian pianist, Felipe Montanaro, transcribed it and he did an excellent job. Hermeto is actually the unrivalled master of this type of ethereal Choro composition, but Itiberê, Nenê and Guinga (as the most obvious examples) have also written great things in this style as well. It follows in what might be called the Hermeto tradition (but that's not to imply it's derivative in any way it's uniquely Itiberê's).

Not a "Jazz" composition, but harmonically it should appeal to Jazz musicians. It's a wistful, ethereal Choro-Lento with sublime harmonies. Personally my favourite composition of his. An exceptional composition by Hermeto's bassist Itiberê Zwarg (written originally for Itiberê's ex-wife).
