My strategy is to transcribe Cannonball solos from 1955 through 1963 first. After 1963, the solos become increasingly difficult to transcribe as Cannon played more rhythmically free. There definitely are some classics during the later years including what I think is Cannon's greatest recorded solo, Stardust, in 1966.
