This is a good one!!

Thanks to David Patrois. One of his students told me he does this.

I have played 12 tone rows before but never like this. Making one up, and playing in all the keys.

Very cool lifetime exercise!

here is my 12 tone row:
F C G# B G F# D Bb C# E Eb A

i just made it in some quasi random way in Sibelius.

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.

You can listen here to both parts.

Down load the other file which is just one part and then add your part.

Any questions let me know.
