Lovely romantic tune that I was surprised not to find on this forum. Here is Broabent playing it himself. The changes are from Sher's New Real Book, Volume 3, page 109. Don't Ask Why - Alan Broadbent Cheers, Jer

Straightforward tune interpreted by the late and under-rated Bob Berg. The chart is from pp 295-6 in The New Real Book, Volume 3. Promise (Bob Berg) - Chick Corea (Introduced by Bob Berg in his Enter The Spirit album 1993) Cheers, Jer

Although Duke Ellington is sometimes credited as co-composer of this tune, Strayhorn actually wrote it in Harlem while Ellington was in Euope in 1939. This is my reharm of it. Some changes are based on those in Sher's New Real Book Three. Day Dream-Rev JE - Billy Strayhorn Cheers, Jer

storylyricwriter, In the turnback from the B section the tritone sub sounds nice, but unfortunately it conflicts with the pickup note, which in your key (C major) is C natural against Db9. Might I suggest Dbmaj7? Or G7sus? Cheers, Jer

Thanks, EvaH, It's a beautiful tune. However, you've got only the B section, repeated. Here is the whole tune. It's in C. I believe Lars plays it in Bb. I took a few liberties with the changes. I Hope It's Spring For You-Rev JE - Lars Gullin Cheers, Jer
