Update, January 2026:
A more complete chart, including one of my earliest solo transcriptions, was sleeping peacefully in the deep, dark depths of my hard drive. I’ve woken it up for you.
If you’re after the trumpet solo as originally recorded, you might want this copy of The Budos Band – Mas O Menos trumpet chart with Solo Transcription. Enjoy!
thank you for doing these. I played the budos band song and did the fingerings with ease.
thank you. I enjoyed playing ‘Mass O Menos’ ! Unfortunatley the amazing trumpet solo is not on the transcription….is it also avialable somwhere?
thanks
🤔 Hmm… I might just have that. Let me check and see what I can find.
Good morning, Wouter. I found the solo! Check the link in the updated post.
Cheers,
Gary.
Thanks a lot Gary!
