Hi A friend gave me three volumes of flamenco transcriptions Seem to be Japanese transcribers Read through some and seems a great acquisition I am currently adding a Zambra to my rep Instead of sourcing the juan martins or juan serrano I like the sound of the juan Maya one in the volume So wish to Persue this I have no audio So my question is Does anyone know where I may find an audio of the score ?

That's such a great response pimientito..straight to the source.. So appreciated .. Have you recorded the Zambra ? Either way time to re activate that ebay account Thank you so much Al
It’s on Amazon UK too, ASIN B000024D30 (you can type this directly into the search box).
The transcription is from Vol. II of the four-volume Gendai Guitar series (B006RA8NXI in the US, but currently unavailable). They are indeed excellent transcriptions.
There are also three more volumes, even more obscure, by Akira Seta and also published by Gendai:
Thank you to everyone for the information Much more than I initially expected The books are great for sure Something about standard notation which seems to click much easier with me.. Might search for the missing volume Again really value the information Al
It’s tough to find. I got my copy from GSP in San Francisco several years ago, but it was out of print even then. You might nonetheless try giving them a call.
Amazon seems never to have listed it at all, although it lists (or has listed) the others.
FWIW Vol. III is still available from fretsonly.com in England, and from Amazon (UK & US). The contents are listed in my review.
If you want a list of the contents of Vol. IV, let me know.
OK, Alval says that if the list is handy it might be of benefit, so here you go:
Melchor de Marchena: Bulerías from Guitarra Gitana Sabicas: Fantasía Inca [Oyanguren] from The Art of the Guitar Sabicas: Alegrías from Sabicas Vol. 1 Sabicas: Granadina «Paseo de los tristes» from Flamenco Fever Sabicas: Colombiana Serranito: Sevillanas Cano: Café de Chinitas from Sonoridades Peña: Rumba «La Lola» from Flamenco Peña: Guajira «Mantilla y Peina» from Fabulous Flamenco and Azahara Trad.: Rumba «El inclusero» from Canciones andaluzas Manolo Sanlúcar: Zapateado «Andares gaditanos» from Mundo y formas, Vol. 1 Manolo Sanlúcar: Rondeña «Oración» from Tauromagia Brahms: Hungarian Dance
If anyone knows what albums the unascribed pieces come from, please post.
You’re welcome. If you want to know what albums the pieces come from in the three volumes you have, look at my Amazon US reviews (search in Books for “Gendai Flamenco”).
I wish I saw more Japanese flamenco editions around.
Editorial standards are so much higher than Mel Bay et al. And they are a great antidote to three hundred page doorsteps which have maybe twenty minutes of music.
