While not a saxophone solo transcription site by any means, this site features user-generated documents of all sorts, and due to the sheer mass of content on the site, there is a decent helping of sax solo goodness to be had here. Anyhow, a great collection for players of all saxophones. ![]() Featuring 17 of Adderley’s solos transposed for C, Bb, and Eb instruments, each solo also comes with an audio sample, but you’ll need the Real Audio Player to listen (does anyone even use RealPlayer these days?).

The Sites to Check Out Ĭannonball, Brecker, Coltrane, Phil Woods, Kenny Garrett, Bergonzi, Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, and many, many more, this is one of the best free transcription sites to bookmark and pillage. But thanks to the power of this newfangled internets online, we can get a boatload of transcribed saxophone brilliance without putting as much as a ding in the pocketbook.
