Stella By Starlight - Victor Young

stella by starlight - Victor Young

this is my favorite jazz tune - not least for its beautiful ABCD structure which is refreshing after myriad AABA forms.. I've jazzed up the chords with the available harmonies from the qualities list.. I think it sounds more inspiring to play to, hope you do too..

well even though I've changed the tempo to 112 and the G7#5 at the start of the C section to both measures, the download still gives you the previous version so you might want to get the chord above sorted out in edit..
 
Nice.

What's interesting is that it's a reharm of a reharm. The Real Book version is by Miles Davis, who reharmed it from Victor Young's original.
 
Hi Jerry. I posted the Stella reharm sometime ago in AAJ. I've been using iReal Pro for a few years now. Great for solo gigs when I don't want to carry a laptop and use BIAB.
 
That's the way I use it on my solo gigs, Ray: iReal Pro + iPad + small amp (Roland CM-30) with an acoustic piano.

Right: the reharm of a reharm! The real original version is by Victor Young, written for the Movie "The Uninvited". I recently bought the movie DVD and transcribed the chords. I have put both the music and the changes on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nNrkohVZAw
