thanks! this is a great tune by a true master...

thanks, i 1st heard of this tune from Steve Davis, trombonist who worked w/ McClean in his Hartt School years. i learned the head a while back but had been sketchy on the 'official' changes!

I played w/ Steve Davis at a jam last night & he confirmed some modifications to the changes you have which i thought i heard listening to recorded versions. try changing the Bbma7 to Bbmin (7 or natural7/ flexible) & the Fma7 to an F7 or B7#11. that seems to match the recorded versions better i think.

my version: Little Melonae - Jackie McLean
