This is a difficult one.

Again I left the chords out. Get the real book out and write in the changes so you in some small way begin to think about the harmony. Look at the notes and enter the chords.

Can you see the different keys this goes through? Thanks to Bach and the Well Tempered system of tuning, or I think this tune would sound terrible in Midieval tuning! :-).

Play it slowly and work it up.

One of the best swinging 4tet where Milt is pushed to his limits and offers some of his sharpest solos. Same thing applies to Joe Pass. All due to the incredibly good rythm section. There's a lot of this team's work on YouTube. Enjoy !

Here's what you do with this.

write in the chord names with the alterations.

memorize the voicings.

play them, add rhythm.

start changing the inversions of some of the voicings.

make a solo based off of the chord tones of the voicings on the sheet.

what notes would you stick in between as passing notes?

Did I post something like this recently.

I'm so busy I can't remember! But here's another one!

This is a recording of my new marimba solo piece, Charlie Chaplin, performed by the wonderful young marimbist, Ayami Okamura. We did this at my house. We plan to do a more professional recording in the middle of October.
I love her groove, a quality missing in too many classical marimbists.
