I Love Music - Ahmad Jamal

Been working on this one for a while! Arguably the most influential song by one of the greatest pianists ever, who changed hip hop forever with this tune. Peace be upon him.

I notated the harmony and structure specific to the when the drums and bass join at 3:49, though the entire song follows an AABA form of 32 bars with minor alterations (Aalt becoming a Gm in 2nd bar).
