Solo Transcription - Gregory Hutchinson, "Jet Stream"

I finally caved and bought an iPad, and it's been a surprisingly positive move.  Not only is it really handy for gigs and rehearsals, but I've ended up doing a lot more transcribing by hand while I'm on trains and planes, or in waiting rooms.  So, some things might occasionally look a bit different around here, starting with one of the first things I scribbled out on it.
 
This is Gregory Hutchinson trading on Peter Bernstein's "Jet Stream" with Brad Mehldau and Christian McBride.  Each solo section features two six-stroke rolls; one as triplets and the other double that speed, a sound you'll hear Hutch do fairly regularly, especially in this period.  After this he does a great solo over the whole form that I haven't had a chance to write that out yet.  Trading section start around 5:19
