I have a gig coming up and the singer is trying to share her playlist—she is having trouble. She says " I'm on my iPhone and no matter what I do there is no sign of tempos when I share my setlist." I've asked her to send me the list so I can see what's going on, but surely whatever you edit...

Here's Menescal's chart from his website … Rio - Roberto Menescal and Ronaldo Bôscoli

Long time since I've been on here! For those of you who are working through Steve Mooney's Walking Basslines books, here's a long chart for his Blues book Part 2. I gave each chorus a Rehearsal letter for clarity, and was just able to squeeze the first key (F) into iRP...

from Chediak Bossa Nova Songbook vol 1 Estrada do sol - Duran and Jobim

Jitterbug Waltz RB3 Been a while since I've put anything up—here's the file to go with the Real Book 3 version in Eb Jitterbug Waltz RB3 - Fats Waller

Ana Maria New Real Book 2 chords The main difference is that the NRB2 adds a lot of 9th's to the chords and spells out E7alt as E7#9b5 Same structure, but I added in 8 measures of intro and a coda in place of the fade. I personally prefer to solo over the changes rather than the two-chord vamp...

Ligia - Antônio Carlos Jobim (Jobim Cancioneiro) Here's my adaptation of this version from the "Jobim Cancioneiro" book, to make a format for soloing— Jazz-Ballad Even Tempo 60 Intro Section A Theme statement Section B Interlude and second half of theme solos over A&B Coda is Theme statement...

No, it's 14—making it into 16 robs the melody of its suspense. Remember, the song is about how summer makes the singer feel bad about losing his girlfriend. 14 bars underscores the loss of things that could have been, not to mention making the tune more fun and interesting to play …:)

Consolação (Chediak Songbook) This is from the Chediak Bossa Nova Songbook vol 1 p64 It looks kinda odd, the way it's laid out, but it follows the chart … Consolação - Baden Powell and Vinicius de Moraes

I was able finally to track down this version by Sam Jones—tempo is around 235-240 bpm! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVSkRakVDXc released on September 13, 1977 Sam Jones – bass Blue Mitchell – trumpet Billy Higgins or Louis Hayes – drums Bob Berg – sax (tenor) Slide...

Hmm—I suspect the first repeat is a mistake … Here with slightly different chord values from Jobim's own arrangement in the "Jobim Cancioneiro" book NB I expanded the first two measures just so you can see the C7b9sus, but it's still 4/4! Melody starts at measure 3 Desafinado (intro from Jobim...

This is the Blue Mitchell tune from Harold Land's album "Mapenzi", NOT the Horace Silver tune of the same name from "The Jody Grind" You'll find the chart in the Colorado Cookbook p37—I put in 2 measures of 2/4 at the end to approximate the ending as written. Also note—Intro and coda are...

Here's "Doralice" from Chediak Songbook vol 5 … Doralice (Chediak vol 5) - João Gilberto (Caymmi-Almeida)

A friend was looking for a chart of this—I finally ran it to ground in the New Real Book 3. It took some finagling to get it to play in iReal Pro the same way as the chart reads, but here you go… NRB3's letters A & B are played as part of the Intro (Head In) Solos written as ABC on the chart...

Straightened—out chart taken from Chediak Bossa Nova vol 4 Pra Dizer Adeus - Edu Lobo
