This tune is a tribute to Sara Vaughn. I've always loved it, but as far as I can tell it never really made it into the popular fake books. A friend of mine transcribed it back in the the late 1970s. I recorded this version for piano and marimba a few years ago.
The form is kinda long and a lot of fun to improvise on. It's usually done in even 8ths. I checked Youtube and found several covers by a variety of great jazz players. There are also lyrics for the melody, although I don't know who wrote them.
A lead sheet is included.
Lots of octaves with the right hand. Arrangement PDF included.
Ok guys!!
I´ve posted an original composition by me about the last CD recorded the Marosa Jazz Project and I like share w/ all you the audio track we recorded and the lead sheet for you can read it while you are listening it. What I can to say?? If would be a great honour for me if you play that in an gig, performance... and after post it.
I've fallen in love with the tune Recordame by Joe Henderson. I can play the chords and melody for the tune nicely and can improv it acceptably too. I've transcribed the melody for the intro section off the CD and I've gottem most of the chords but there are a few that escape me.
Can anyone give me the chords for the intro section of this tune? I'd surely appreciate it.

This is a very interesting and demanding interlude,written by the great composer/arranger Frank Zappa.It is a incredible exercise on playing a single line melody,using uncommon intervals.
This version appeared on the "Apostrophe"album,as part of a tune called "st Alfonzo's pancake breakfast".It begins approximately at 1:09 and it was performed by the great Ruth Underwood.
It is a standard piece in the Zappa repertoire,and it was played by all the percussionists that played in the Zappa band.
This is a good example of a basic solo arrangement for vibes. Mallet dampening should be used on the first 16 bars of the melody to keep the notes from running together. You won’t be able to use the pedal because it will be down to allow the chord voicings to ring.

Hi everyone.
This is a minor blues tune I wrote called: "It's Alright, it's Coo"
I would love to put a recording of someone playing it either solo or with a group on my new website which will be running in a couple weeks.
Please try it out!
Intros are cool too! And you don't necessarly have to play the written coda, up to you.

The Chief is a really nice tune Pat Metheny wrote and recorded on a CD called Reunion, with Gary Burton. I made this video clip for one of Tony's Vibe Hangs, and decided to post it here too.
I've included links to the Lead Sheet and an mp3 of the Piano Accompaniment to use to practice the tune.
Cheers!
Practicing tunes in other keys is a great exercise. Recently Tony and I had a short discussion on the benefits of transposing. It reminded me of "Comrade Conrad", a beautiful Bill Evans tune that actually moves up a 5th to a new key every chorus! The transition to a new key is so smooth the listener may not even be aware that the tune is moving through all 12 keys.
