Jigs seem problematic in iRP. I've tried using the Jazz even 8ths style in 6/8 for Banish Misfortune. Best I could find. Banish Misfortune - Traditional

Nice. I'm not used to playing it with the F7sus harmony (Bb not B natural). The extra chord movement in bar 13 is nice as well. Obrigado.

Please count me in as a requester for a jig style with strummed guitar as well.

I tried to put in the stops - some of the chord cliches and some bass line motion. With all that - the intro is still a little dodgy but I think everything else is pretty successful. Receita de Samba - Jacob do Bandolim

Is there a good way to request specific styles? I'm thinking some of the lesser known Brazilian styles like: Maxixe Tango Brasileiro Choro-lento Forro and a reversed samba pattern (samba is a two measure pattern - first measure starting on the downbeat - second on the anticipated upbeat. In...

the closest rhythm pattern I could find was jazz even 8ths in 3/4. I tried to get the bass movement correct. Santa Morena - Jacob do Bandolim

There is an intensive choro workshop at Centrum in Port Townsend, WA. I think it's the last week of April. Many of the instructors fly up from Brasil - and are very supportive and knowledgable. Jovino Santos Neto is the flute instructor - he's a great pianist as well. I believe Anat Cohen will...

Yet another Noites Cariocas i tried to add stops and more bass movement - and put in the turnaround in bars 15-16 that my friend from Brasillia plays Noites Cariocas - Jacob do Bandolim

Cronban - you are welcome. What instrument do you play? I'm alternating between melodica, nylon string guitar and piano. The autocorrect is driving me crazy :-%

my take on the chords and bassline for this choro. Sonoroso - K. Ximbinho

I found a tune with your cadence. The intro to Jobim's tune - Dindi. Bars 7 8 and 9. Dm9 G13 Ebmaj7. Cheers.

Good luck with your search. The common tone between Cmaj and Ebmaj would be G. So the standard ii Vx I resolving ii Vx mIII deceptively would have melody not on G. I'm interested to know what you find.

Oh - now that I'm at a piano I see what you are doing. This is a fairly common ending cadence if the melody ends on the root. I use it in Darn That Dream - key of G. Last cadence: Am7 D7 Gmaj7. Melody note G. Sub Ebmaj7 - if you want to resolve to the home key Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gmaj7.

Think of your G7b9 as being an Ab diminished chord with a G bass. If you would shift the bass note only to Bb then you would have Abdim/Bb aka a Bb7b9 - which would be the dominant for Eb major. The chords are so related as to be interchangeable. It's a standard jazz piano practice to shift...
