These Are Soulful Days has been wrongly attributed to Lee Morgan or Pat Martino, as they both — among others — recorded it. The composer actually was trumpet player Cal Massey, who by the end of his career was playing avant-garde music with Archie Shepp. Cheers, Jer

R.I.P. the great Ahmad Jamal, a major influence on jazz piano style in the second half of the twentieth century.

I thought it was time to revisit this old classic with some fresh changes. The origin of the tune in the 1932 Maurice Chevalier film Love Me Tonight is told here. In the Woody Allen film Hannah and Her Sisters the character portrayed by Lloyd Nolan plays a tasteful arrangement of it on the...

Bob, That is very high praise, much appreciated. Thank you. Cheers, Jer

storylyricwriter, Thank you. You inspired me to look into this tune further, and I came up with my own version of it. I Want To Talk About You - Rev JE - Billy Eckstine Cheers, Jer

storylyricwriter, In the turnback from the B section the tritone sub sounds nice, but unfortunately it conflicts with the pickup note, which in your key (C major) is C natural against Db9. Might I suggest Dbmaj7? Or G7sus? Cheers, Jer

Thanks, EvaH, It's a beautiful tune. However, you've got only the B section, repeated. Here is the whole tune. It's in C. I believe Lars plays it in Bb. I took a few liberties with the changes. I Hope It's Spring For You-Rev JE - Lars Gullin Cheers, Jer

Abelrode, The chart you have will play ABC all the way through each time, and not give you the order you specified at the bottom: AB ABC B ABC B. This will play what you asked for: Sympathique-Rev JE - Pink Martini Cheers, Jer

The above version of the tune is strangely truncated. Here is the version included in Jazz 1400 Standards, but with the rhythm indicated. Most rhythmically prominent is the Intro, which is echoed at the end of each complete chorus. The melody is based on a traditional Swedish song, but I...

That Sinatra arrangement works fine if it's only played once through. But if you want to solo on it, it's going to play the whole ABACAC form, with the AC played twice each time. Here's a version that plays (after the Verse) ABAC as many times as you want, and then ABACAC only the last time...
