DC Al Second Ending Doesn't Work

Hi,

thanks in advance

For help with a chart, post it here in iRp format so we can play it with the player and open it in the editor.

To permit the DC al 2nd instruction to work as designed, all that was needed was a double-bar sign at the end of the section.

What A Wonderful World - Swing 1 - Weiss-Thiele


The player will return to the top, take the second ending and start the form again after the measure marked fine.

BUT, that's an awkward jump and a measure short.
The way I'd do it is with a 3rd ending like this:

What A Wonderful World - Swing 2 - Weiss-Thiele

Always remember to include composer info and set the default key correctly.

Bob,

Thanks much.

I left that final chord as a suspension because I liked the sound without full closure.

Of course, it can be played with a dominant instead.

People should always feel free to make suggestions and changes, especially you.

Cheers,
Jer

Thanks Jer,
Your sus chord is beautiful and usually you can always count on me to be in favor of a "dangle" ending as there are few enough opportunities for them. I've listened more and I guess this time it's just a cadence thing. Since the vocal melody there is a pick-up, it just felt to me like the go-round wanted more of a nudge.

As a bassist, I usually favor simplicity in chordal arrangements because of their fewer constraints. Your busier (but very rich) arrangement of this tune is really stunning and also quite instructive.

I don't think the C7sus chord would work if it were preceded by a Gm7, as they're too close to each other. But I like it after the Db7 chord.

At the end of the bridge I do resolve C7sus to Gb7.

I clutter up slow tunes with lots of changes because I like the challenge of finding progressions that work.

Bill Evans was of course the master of this. His changes on Spring Is Here:

Spring Is Here-Rev JE with Ad Lib Ending - Richard Rodgers

I love the way he sticks in a phrase from I'm Old-Fashioned after the Eb7/Db in the Coda.

Cheers,
Jer

EDIT: My changes to Spring Is Here are not exactly Bill's throughout. They're actually somewhat simplified. Kenlister's changes are from Chuck Sher's New Real Book 3 and are taken directly from a transcription of Bill's playing:
