Alexander Hawkins Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 I was just listening to B&S on 'Mingus Plays Piano', and his reharmonisation - I think via Tatum? I don't have his recordings to hand! - of the bridge is fantastic. I wonder if anyone with an ear more harmonically astute than mine could please tell me what the changes are here (I'm minus a keyboard at the moment as well!)? Any help would be really appreciated!

Alexander Hawkins Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Posted March 23, 2004 I'm back at my piano today, but still having difficulty working this out! If anyone could help, that would be fantastic! Quote
Pete C Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 An aside--Mingus did an interesting arrangement of B&S for the Hampton band in the 40's that exists as an aircheck. The same chart also appears in Epitaph, and I think the Town Hall concert. I don't remember offhand whether the reharmonization of the piano solo is related to that version. Quote
