WAYNE SHORTER - "Black Nile" Tablature
Official WAYNE SHORTER Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Black Nile
Artist: Wayne Shorter
Album: Night Dreamer
Drummer: Elvin Jones
Origninally Transcribed by: John Riley
Put into tab format by: Dean C. (Socrman564)
Time Signature: 4/4
I got this tab in the December 2000 issue of Modern Drummer, but it wasn't in tab format. I look for no credit in this tab. I don't really understand how much of the song this is, but John Riley quotes "It's a very concise, passionate statement from Wayne Shorter's album Night Dreamer, recorded in 1964. 'Black Nile' is a thirty-two-measure song on which Elvin takes a one-chorus solo." So you can figure it out.
Also, the magazine did not specify which cymbal Elvin used, so I will just say crash.
Note: O's and 's mean the same thing: accent.

Once again, this was not by me, and i wish for no credit, I just want people to see it. Credit goes to John Riley.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WAYNE SHORTER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
