This makes me want to learn this tune. Does anyone have a transcription? Sheet music?

Kurt has a book out with Mel Bay called Compositions, which regroups leadsheets and transcriptions of solos from the album Deep Song. Enjoy it, it's great.

I agree that it's a great book, well worth the money, and thanks to Brandon Bernstein and Matt Warnock. The thing I like about it is seeing how he comps for himself so much, rather than Single-note-for-awhile-then-block-chords-for-awhile, like you often hear, plus, when he plays the same tunes with a piano player, he still maintains his own style and the piano adjusts to HIM, rather than the other way around, which is the usual result. Good book.

He is amazing. I saw his Standards Trio in Chicago last week. I still can't figure out how he gets that sound as if someone is singing slightly behind the notes in the same register as the guitar (as if falsetto). I asked Kurt after the show. He told me that he wears a microphone and sings, but I could not tell if he was yanking my chain. Listen to his solo on Zhivago for an example of what I'm describing.

No, he really does sing along.

Doesn't look like it -- here's a screen grab of the Table of Contents from Amazon's "Search Inside" function. I've been thinking about buying this book for a long time, for piano rather than guitar (I just want to see those incredible chords...).

EDIT: There's also a transcriptions book for East Coast Love Affair, for those who want some of his trio tunes.

I'll ask my guitar teacher to transcribe it This is such an amazing piece!
