Ok let's move to another TOTM.

How about:
All the Things You Are
and
Prince Albert

Do you know about these tunes? Prince Albert is a contrafact of All the Things You Are. That is same chords but new melody.

Prince Albert is a great bebop tune and GREAT to play through all the keys.

So you're studying one set of chord changes, but two tunes.

So get ready for some fun lessons!

I had previously posted on this topic via a clip that demonstrated the concept on piano. I'm using the same Pentatonic scales in this clip from Saturday night's gig with Mark.

To view and download the Pentatonics being used for the improvisation, click on the link included in the clip's description. More clips from this night are up on my YT channel listed under Duo with Mark Carlsen. Other songs include: How Deep is the Ocean, Jitterbug Waltz, Topsy, Like Someone in Love, Triste, Ain't Misbehavin', Peace, There Will Never Be Another You, Chega De Saudade, How Insensitive.

PDF of chord melody is attached.
