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...

This is a little ballad I wrote in 2015. Lead sheet can be found here. Short YouTube video here. September-Rev JE 3 - Jerry Engelbach Cheers, Jer

A strange tune that alternates between 4/4 and 3/4 time, with the order of the time changes reversed between the head and the solos. The champion of Zindars' tunes was of course Bill Evans, who plays it here. I had to juggle the bar spacings erratically in order to make all the time changes...

Thank you, Bob. Workarounds to the repeat options in iReal Pro are a challenge. Cheers, Jer

From the chart in Sher's The World's Greatest Fake Book. I wrote the head as part of the Intro, as its syncopated rhythms are different from the straight ahead solo changes. Here are Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers on YouTube. One By One - Rev JE - Wayne Shorter Cheers, Jer

A deceptively simple but engaging tune in 3/4 time that really swings. Here's a tasty arrangement of it on YouTube. The lead sheet is in Sher's The World's Greatest Fake Book. (The intro on the lead sheet and iReal Pro chart is not the arrangement on the video.) Face I Love, The - Valle and...

This version includes Bill Evans's introduction. Elsa-with Intro - Earl Zindars Cheers, Jer

I know what you mean, Bob. I look for tunes that do that to me, too. Of course, almost everything from Bill Evans has that bittersweet quality. Cheers, Jer

The late George Mraz was a fine bass player and composer who worked with some of the best jazz musicians in the world. There are YouTube recordings of this beautiful ballad by Mraz and also by Tommy Flanagan. Although this is called a blues, it is that in form only, 12 bars. The changes are...
