Bud Powell's Celia for tenor sax!

I transcribed Bud Powell's Celia for tenor, being inspired by the band that consisted of Rollins, Navarro, Powell, Potter and Blakey, in order to allow me to play it on tenor.

And interestingly, the range that Bud Powell uses both in the head and in the solo completely fits the tenor range, so feel free to use this song also in a quartet setting with a tenor horn!

Celia (for Bb tenor)

Enjoy!
