A slight correction. There is no such person as "Legrand Bergman." The music is by Michel Legrand, the lyrics by Marilyn Bergman. Cheers, Jer

I was surprised that this pretty romantic ballad from Brigadoon was not in the 1410 collection. Here's my version. As usual, more chord clutter. Heather on the Hill-Rev JE, The - Lerner and Loewe Cheers, Jer

Hmm. I'm wondering why there are two different tunes on the same thread, since it's not a "George Duke Songs" thread. Cheers, Jer

Here's a Latin-Jazz version of this classic tune. Flamingo-Rev JE - Ted Grouya Cheers, Jer

One of the most interesting things about this tune is the offset syncopated bass line, which works against the strict 3/4 time of the tune. Unfortunately, iReal Pro has no way to replicate this bass line, as it cannot subdivide the bar into eighth beats. Played by the Fred Hersch Trio. The...

Here's another version of this great song, which I based loosely on Dave Grusin's changes for Chaka Khan. I don't care much for her interpretation, but I like Grusin's chords. I'll Be Around-Rev JE 2 - Alec Wilder Cheers, Jer

It's a wise man who knows who the devil wrote Duke Ellington's tunes.

This unusual tune is on pp 107-8 in Sher's New Real Book, Volume Two. The book has it in 6/8, but I think it works better in 4/4. It doesn't match any of the versions on YouTube. The one I prefer is here. I aded a couple of passing chords that I thought were appropriate. Forever-Rev JE -...

Joke ...............

Well, that's certainly an interesting twist, Bob. One should say that it was improvised by Hanna, but written by Jones. Cheers, Jer

For any who don't know, Bill's title is an anagram of his record producer's name, Orrin Keepnews.

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

This is a revised version of a chart I did a few years ago. I've added more chords (natch!), and suggested chords under each of the first 6 melody notes of the Intro. In A Sentimental Mood-Rev JE 2 - Duke Ellington Cheers, Jer
