 Never Will I Marry Have absolutely fallen in love with this tune; we'll be performing it in my little 6-piece combo this semester. Any interesting ideas for improv? The changes are: Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 Dm Dm Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 Dm Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Abmaj7 [Am-D7] Gm7 [Em7-A7] Dmaj7 [Em7-A7] Dmaj7 Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 Dm Gm7 Cm7 Cm7 F9sus Bb6 This song really evokes strong emotions in me; I can't really describe it, but something like driving through a big city late at night in the middle of the summer with all the windows down; simultaneously happy and sad. Melancholy. Yes, that's it. Mostly right now I'm just doing pentatonic and major-scale stuff over the Eb-Dm section, then some basic ii-V riffs over the other stuff. Do some of you have some more esoteric ideas? Even though the song plays at a pretty quick pace, it feels spacious - and I would like to play with developing some large-scale melodic ideas. I'll probably also transcribe Cannonball's solo on this version... YouTube - Jazz Vocals - Nancy Wilson - "Never Will I Marry" ...as well as the version he and Wes Montgomery put down on the "Poll Winners" album. Anyone want to PM me, I can shoot them the mp3 of that version.     |

| This is also one of my favorite tunes, Cannonball. Wes, Victor Feldman, Sam Jones, Louis Hayes. It don't get no better than that! Last edited by Eric Rowland : 01-12-2012 at 04:59 AM. |

| Wow, the dead walk among us! I had completely forgotten about this post. Apparently so has everyone else for the past two years. :-0 IIRC we never did play it in a performance setting, just in rehearsal a few times. I think the other musicians didn't take to it as strongly as I did. It's still on my rotation list though. Updated link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o0hZIqHzTE |

| Here's another great tune that puts me in a similar mood: George Coleman - Amsterdam After Dark - YouTube |
