I was rather surprised this tune wasn't done yet. This arrangement is not based on the more well-known Dionne Warwick(e) version, it is the pop hit Bacharach recorded over in swinging London that has an instrumental bridge (not that this fact matters, I guess). I was able to use the Break...

This is a version of "Moose the Mooche" that I got through interlibrary loan in WA state. It transcribed all of Bird's solos, and for what it's worth, I thought it was worthy of inclusion since it is quite different from the one on the Jazz list. Moose The Mooche - Atlantic Music Corp- -...

From his fourth LP "Get Happy!!" Beaten To The Punch - Elvis Costello

Christmas Is has been a family favorite album since I was a boy. Here is the title tune as close as I could get it; perhaps someone could find a more suitable style, but it plays fairly well for a karaoke track. The sheet music source was a Reader's Digest anthology of sheet music I borrowed...

Sheet music source: Elvis Costello: A Singing Dictionary(1980); opening cut of Elvis and the Attractions fourth Columbia LP, "Get Happy!!" [Managed to program in a lot of Bruce Thomas' walking bass lines here, so naturally this page is a wee bit crowded.] Love For Tender - Elvis Costello

Sheet music source: Elvis Costello: A Singing Dictionary, (1980) Opening cut to his 3rd LP, Armed Forces: Accidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello

Here's another Elvis tune from his first LP, "My Aim is True". I remember playing this four chord rocker in my very first band back in 1979. Trivia note: Back in the '40s, film director Preston Sturges had another name for the "Mystery Dance," he simply referred to it as "Topic A". In the...

Sheet music source: Elvis Costello: A Singing Dictionary (1980) Pretty simple tune which sounds exceptionally close to overall sound of the original on iRP, especially if you add a guitar part for all the choppy rhythms: Less Than Zero - Elvis Costello From Elvis's debut LP, "My Aim is True".

Long ago in the late '80s I recorded an original arrangement of this tune, so I figured I'd try to recreate it on iRP. However, I couldn't get the half time feel I originally did, and ended up going weird with a guitar trio style which ended up being a lot more novel and fun to mess around...

Sheet music source: Elvis Costello: A Singing Dictionary (1980) From Elvis' 4th Columbia LP, "Get Happy!!" (If anyone would like me to transcribe an Elvis Costello tune from his first six LPs, drop me a note.) High Fidelity - Elvis Costello Enjoy!

Goon Squad - Elvis Costello Side Two opening cut from "Armed Forces," the third Elvis Costello LP. Source for music: Elvis Costello: A Singing Dictionary (1980)

This was the closing tune on the LP "Taking Liberties". I have the Blues styles, so I used the Chicago Shuffle style to get the acoustic guitar in there. YMMV if you don't. Ghost Train - Elvis Costello For some reason, I couldn't get iRP to skip the second ending and go to the chorus (B...

Pleasant Valley Sunday - GH3K - The Monkees (Goffin-King) I was not playing music for a while, and now that I'm back, I'm fixing some of my old charts. This is a song that I charted a while back that I discovered didn't work, so I've repaired it. [Figured out a way to solve this, hence this...

Mr Clean - SM - Weldon Irvine Composer was misidentified as Freddie Hubbard when actual composer is Weldon Irvine. To get the half time feel, I cut the number of barres in half, and for the accented hit on the Db/F chord change (not even included on the Real Book playlist), I used the old 3/8...

Song For My Father - SM - Horace Silver This version Sher Music version is complete with intro, repeated head, and coda, unlike the somewhat generic Jazz 1350 playlist version.

I'll Get By -- SM - Fred Alhert Composer was ID'd on Jazz 1350 playlist version as "Turk - Alhert" when only Fred Alhert should be credited as he wrote the music. There seemed to be some chord placement problems with this one specifically because this tune has 14 barre A and B sections...

Sham Time - Eddie Harris

This deep cut is from Iron Butterfly's HEAVY album. A bassist friend of mine turned me on to it today, and I decided to record a version. Unconscious Power - Iron Butterfly - R. Bushy, D. Ingle, D. Weis

I just discovered this rocking little pop shuffle, and just made up a chart for it to mess around with it a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoL6DBhzksM Here's a video version using the chart below I recently completed: https://www.bitchute.com/video/dXDvfKXHOv8J/ She's Just My Style -...
