| |  beija-flor
Anyone know the chords to Beija-Flor. Jim Hall did a version. Been told I've got to play it tomorrow if I want to sit in with some heavy duty players and I've too much else happening to make the time to work them out. Pints all round if you can help.  thanks. |

Thanks so much randalljazz. Much appreciated. Strangely, I'd never heard of, nor heard, Beija-Flor until this morning!! Then I checked out my Jim Hall/Bill Frisell cd and it's on there.  Pretty tune.
Thanks for the second version too, I noticed it arrive just as I'm writing this. Haven't you got any work to do? muchos gracias.

check out the version on "All Across The City" - one of Jim's finest recordings imo! |

Randalljazz, thanks again for those 2 pdf files, unfortunately it's the wrong Beija-Flor. The one I was after is a samba written by Nelson Cavaquinho. That said I managed to find enough to kick me off on a thread on — wait for it — the GearPage!!!  Thanks for your help though. |

That song (from All Across The City album) is great in the mornings ! Big Blues is another one of my favorites. |

hello there, the song Beija-Flor is written from Nelson Cavaquinho.
I first heard it on a record by the german gypsy player Kussi Weiss, then I heard it from Jim Hall.Now I noticed that David Reinhardt, the grandson of the great Django Reinhardt, recorded it in 2008 on his release "The Way of Heart". I will attach a pdf of the leadsheet I had made.
enjoy, ElLobo |

ElLobo | Thanks ElLobo, appreciated. I worked it all out and got the whole thing together once I'd found a few lost chords but your pdf will be interesting to check out. Thanks. |

Hello El Lobo,
Thanks for the pdf of Beija Flor that you posted.
I'd tried to work it out listening to Jim Hall's recording, but got lost on the middle part. It's very nice to have the benefit of your work. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
