Maybe September - Percy Faith
This is my swing version of what is usually a slow ballad.
Here are Tony Bennett and Bill Evans.

My version with extended chords.
I've never loved the original chords at the end of the B section, so I've put in something different.

A jazzy version of the R&H classic from The King and I.
This is a special arrangement I like to play.
I've written an Intro which also serves as an Outro. I've inserted four bars instead of two — so watch the timing — at the end of the 1st and 2nd endings, in the middle of the bridge, and in...
Lovely Bach-like tune.

The sheet music appears in the volume Themes from Eurasia, by Dave Brubeck. It can be downloaded for free from Scribd if you upload five of your own documents.
I've widened bar three in order to fit the chord extensions...
mfishersounds,
Thanks for the chart.
It would be helpful if the bars were actually 7 beats long, so the chart could show the exact placement of the chords.
The D7 in bar 6 should be a Dm7.

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.

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.

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
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...
