The most popular content on this website is “Distribution of entanglement in large-scale quantum networks”…. Nah, just kidding. By far the most popular is this transcription of the horn parts of the Soul Intro by Jaco Pastorius (or his band) to The Chicken by Pee Wee Ellis. I found a scan of a transcription by Mark Welcome. I re-typeset it and made a few corrections and additions. Here is a clip of Jaco and a band playing it in 1981. Viewers d’une certaine age will enjoy the closeup of the trumpet player’s casio calculator watch at 0:50. (Note: It seems calculator watches have made a comeback.)
