Thanks for the interesting chart. Is there anyplace on line where one can hear the tune being played? Aebersold has the sheet music, but it would be interesting to hear how LaVerne plays it. Cheers, Jer

If it's the chords you need, I recommend that you register with Chordify.net. There you enter the name of the song you want and it plays them, showing the chords. You get a limited number of songs each day for free. It's pretty accurate, although it may not show extended chords in their...

Sweet Lotus Blossom. My version. I divided all the original V chords into ii-V chords. A YouTube video has some interesting information about the tune in the notes. Sweet Lotus Blossom-Rev JE - Sam Coslow-Arthur Johnston Cheers, Jer

Thnaks, Greg. It always bothered me to have a whole section of melody with no harmony, as there's no bass to improvise over. Cheers, Jer

Bob, Whatever you did, it works for me now. I like your key better, Ab major. It's more resonant than my C major. I'd put ∆7 on the major chords and -7 on the minor chords. Also, the turnaround is written as "Eb-." I'm sure you mean Eb7. Cheers, Jer

Thanks, Bob. I started a new thread for this tune because in your original thread from 2014 the link doesn't go to a file. Cheers, Jer

Ebb Tide - Robert Maxwell, Carl Sigman This was written as a slow ballad in 1953, and was recorded that way by numerous artists. However, this is my swinging version. The chords are not much different from the original. You'll find many recordings on YouTube. I haven't referred to any in...

You're very welcome. Cheers, Jer

This is as close as I could come using Chordify. A Theme in 3/4 - Ron Carter Cheers, Jer

I wouldn't know where to find any trad changes. Like many folk songs it probably has been played in a variety of ways.

I love mysteries.

What does this post mean? Who are you talking to?

I put the Bb in the bass because that's the note I wanted to be played. Otherwise, iReal Pro might have played some other note in the chord.

NickCog24, I'm wondering about a couple of the slash chord choices. Gb∆7/Eb is functionally Ebm9. Ebo7/Ab is functionally Ab7b9. There are differing opinions about slash chords. My personal taste is that slash chords are best reserved for when either a bass note is unrelated to the chord or...

This is my version of this great tune. The Intro, Outro, and A sections are over a D pedal. The alternate chords are played on the melody notes. I'll Remember April-Rev JE - Raye-DePaul Cheers, Jer

By "chart" do you mean the melody? The iReal Pro charts are just the chords. Cheers, Jer

Yes, true. But someone reading the music will scan it back looking for the forwarding Coda sign. I assumed the chart was not just for playback, but for reading, as it has fermatas that don't play back. Cheers, Jer

Nice. It's missing a Coda jump symbol. Cheers, Jer

Hoagy Carmichael wrote Baltimore Oriole in 1942, and it quickly became his personal favorite of all his compositions. It was used as the subtle background music in the 1944 film To Have and Have Not. My reharm is minimal, mostly adding passing chords to create more variety in the tone colors...
