“This brand-new, never-before-seen solo piano transcription of “Nancy (With the Laughing Face)” has been meticulously transcribed by Przemysław Jaworucki and added to the anthology of solo piano transcriptions available on this website. This transcription is special because, after listening to the live performance and reviewing the transcription, I can confidently and humbly suggest that it is one of my all-time great solo piano improvisations. I trust that if you’re seeking a solo piano transcription that will challenge you and significantly enhance your playing once fully learned, this is it. Please read further on this page, as I discuss some of the unique opportunities this transcription offers.” Paul Tobey
Let me dive into some of the main features of this solo jazz piano transcription:
- It consists of 9 full pages of meticulously transcribed and professionally notated music by our master transcriber.
- The total length of the transcription, when played at a speed similar to the recording below, is 7 minutes and 13 seconds.
- No two bars in this transcription are alike, which means that each bar offers a new learning experience, improvisation, and creativity.
- Some of the techniques used in this performance include, but are not limited to: block chord progressions, flowing improvisational right-hand lines, blues licks, jazz licks, inner voices, sixth diminished scale ideas, arpeggiated chords, and nearly my entire arsenal of jazz piano techniques and styles.
- The transcriber makes a concerted and precise effort to duplicate all of the rubato playing while capturing the essence of swing. This jazz piano transcription will continue to inspire and challenge you for years to come.
I highly encourage you to listen to and watch the performance of this transcription, recorded during a Saturday livestream on August 2, 2025.
Please enjoy the music as I made if for you,
Paul Tobey
