Daahoud – Drum Transcription:

Daahoud is an AABA jazz standard written by Clifford Brown and made famous by the Capitol recording of the 1954 album; Clifford Brown & Max Roach. However, seven years after Brown’s fatal car crash in 1956, an album named Daahoud was released on Mainstream Records containing several alternate takes, including a recording of Daahoud. Personnel on the first Clifford Brown (trumpet) and Max Roach (drummer) album are; Harold Land on tenor saxophone, Richie Powell on piano and George Morrow on double bass. The recording of Daahoud and the album itself are typical of the band’s Hardbop music style. In addition, the album is famous as one of the strongest studio albums up to that time. (Ben Ratliff, New York Times). Next to Jordu and Joy Spring from the same album, the track became well-known.

Online Education:

In 2017, I finished two university degrees at the Luca School Of Arts in Leuven, Belgium. My first degree is a master’s degree in drums and percussion. The second degree is a bachelor’s in jazz studies. As a part of graduating in jazz, I researched the link between four Max Roach drum solos and their jazz standard’s melody. Initially, I wrote the document in dutch, although, over time, I converted these to English. Here you can download the (free) PDF for the drum transcription of Daahoud. One of the Max Roach drum solo’s I analyzed. Below that, I will include a brief analysis of the drum solo. If you have any questions, send me a message on the contact page or leave a comment!
