Big Wheel Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The combo that I'm in at the moment wants to do this tune, so I learned it off the record (Blakey's Meet you At The Jazz Corner of the World). Can anyone double-check that I have the changes right? Form AABA A sections: D-7 | % | % | % | G-7 (C7b9) | B-7b5 Bb7 A- Ab7 | G-6* A7alt | D-7 Bridge: A-7b5 | D7alt | G-7 | % | B-7b5 | E7 alt | F-7 Bb7 | Em7b5 A7alt Bar 6 in the A sections is giving me the most trouble by far. Jymie Merritt is walking down half steps starting from B natural almost every time and the progression I came up with seems to make the most sense logically, but I'm still unsure (and a little surprised that the harmony is really changing every quarter note in this bar). *This G-6 is of course basically the same thing as E-7b5, making this just a ii-V7-I to the tonic, but I notated it this way because the bass is constantly playing a G here rather than an E.

Michael Weiss Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The fifth bar is Gm7 A7 On the second beat of the sixth bar Bobby Timmons plays Bbm7 The seventh bar is G- G-/F E-7b5 A7 Third and fourth bar of bridge is G-6 not G-7. ( i minor, not ii minor) Everything else looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wheel Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Hey Michael, apologies for taking a couple days off from looking at the musician's forum. Thanks for looking at this so quickly! Edited April 1, 2012 by Big Wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 You can also buy a lead sheet at jazzleadsheets.com (Don Sickler's site). 4 different parts, 99 cents each. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do that, or if you aspire to be a professional musician, the recommended course of action is to develop your ear and transcribe it off the record yourself.

AllenLowe Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) next time, to see if you're really paying attention, Mike will give you the wrong changes - or say something like: "on the second bridge play an H sharp, stand on your head, and kiss the piano player. Play the second ending three times, roll over, and hold your breath for 4 minutes. Then call Chewy."

bertrand Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I was thinking in terms of using an available source as an 'after-the- fact' verification of one's transcription. I would imagine that this approach would have some pedagogical merit. Now one could debate how accurate the transcriptions on the above-named site are, but I have no desire to get into such a debate.
