Never too old ... Cheers, Jer

Thanks, Bob. I learned the Root1 trick from another poster a few years ago. I can't recall who it was, but it's he who deserves the credit. Cheers, Jer

Change the number of repeats from 3 to 1. Cheers, Jer

johand, Your chart is incomplete. Here's a new chart. It needs some explanation. The tune structure is rhythmically complex, and iReal Pro doesn't have a direct way to deal with it, so I've used a couple of work-arounds. I've put the time in Swing Two/Four. The timing built into that mode is...

Wow. A thank you eight years later. Thanks, bikejazz. Cheers, Jer

Maxwaltman, Yes, it is an interesting sound. A small caveat is that it's the only one of its kind in the tune. Are there other places where you might do something similar? Cheers, Jer

I don't have to imagine it, I can play it. But I don't understand it. Why such a discordant sound? Cheers, Jer

My version of thsis old Frank Sinatra hit. Time After Time-Rev JE - Jule Styne Cheers, Jer

This is my Jazz Latin Swing version of this beautiful theme from Gladiator. The head uses straight ahead triads, while for the solos I put more color in the chords. Gladiator (Honor Him)-Rev JE - Hans Zimmer Cheers, Jer

That's beautiful, Bob. Thanks. Now if only he had put the chart in hi-res so it wasn't too blurry to read. Cheers, Jer

My version adds passing chords for more harmonic variety. No Problem-Rev JE - Duke Jordan Cheers, Jer

bertisg, My view is that unless one has to pass some kind of a test, it's unimportant if the chords differ a smidgen from the original, as long as they work. "Street changes" that depart from the composers' originals are common in jazz. Cheers, Jer

bertisg, Congrats on your first chart. Advice ... You have a Coda but there's no Coda sign in the head to jump to it. It's true that the Coda will play anyway after the final repeat of the head, but it's still confusing not to have a visible Coda pointer. The repeat sign at the top of the...

This tune should not be confused with the Frank Sinatra tune with the same title by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn. The latter is incorrectly included in the Real Book III list here instead of the correct Fraser tune. The Fraser tune is on YouTube. High Hopes (Fraser) - Bob Fraser Cheers, Jer

I added many passing chords to this favorite from Margaret Whiting's repertoire. End of a Love Affair, The-Rev JE - Edward Redding Cheers, Jer

It seems that iReal Pro transposes all diminished chords as flat in flat keys.

Nice changes, Bob. Any idea where the sheet music might be available? Cheers, Jer

Dan, Good to hear from you after all this time. I'd certainly be interested in seeing more of your father's tunes. Cheers, Jer

I've arranged a jazz version of this beautiful traditional Scottish tune. Wild Mountain Thyme-Rev JE - Traditional Cheers, Jer Edit: Added lead sheet 6 Nov 2024.
