What were the transcriptions you did that really unlocked things for you or gave you an AHA moment?

What song is Erena Terakubo quoting?

I had a lot of luck last time I posted, so crossing my fingers again.

The first phrase of Erena Terakubo’s solo (starts at 0:54) is something I’ve heard a few times in Sonny Stitt solos too (at 1:12 in Autumn in New York: https://youtu.be/tvBfpD7ikKs?t=71&is=W1Yvo6S60p0-OFGN). It sounds really familiar but I can’t place it.

Anyone know what this is?

UPDATE: Figured it out. It’s from a traditional song called the Kerry Dancers (Johnny Griffin played it https://open.spotify.com/track/5Vwthu5PRVMlK3z2TxlmYY?si=SKoLR4ReQEKREW9C3aLZDA)

Can’t figure out what song Bud Powell quoted

I was listening to Bud Powell, and he quotes a song that I know I’ve heard before but can’t find it. I heard the quote on “Some Soul” on his album “Bud!” at 1:46.

I wrote out how I think the original song goes, but I don’t know how accurate it is.

Does anyone know what song this is?
