Norwegian Wood - Lennon, McCartney (The Beatles)

[Brafferton]

Anyone have Norwegian Wood as a jazz waltz?

Why can't you just use the Norwegian Wood in the Beatles Playlist and change the rhythm setting? I use Jazz-Medium Up Swing.

@Brafferton:
Or, you could make a copy and set it to 3/4 meter... ;-)

What keyplyr and Kalokagathon said: I just tried it and it worked fine. Started with the Pop-Rock version, changed the Style to Jazz Medium Up Swing, changed the time to 3/4, and made each chord change into its own measure. Took 4-5 minutes. Swings great.

I've had that chart for a year but never looked at it until now. Was the original scored in 12/8? I tried changing the style to Afro 12/8 and setting the tempo to 60 but, as is, the chord voicings are just plain vanilla. If I re-write the chart, I'll post it here. (Edit: I always liked Brasil 66's version.)
