Old Folks - Chord Melody with Video

[Question]

I posted this in "Practical Standards" and thought I would post it here as well in case anyone is interested.

I am playing it in F.

If I am playing something that interests you that you don't understand, just ask and I will try to explain what I am doing.

Another version with drums and bass from the Quartet app:

[John A.]

Yeah! Really nice arrangement and execution. [I usually do it in Eb because I sing it and can't quite make the bridge in F, but for playing I think it does sit better in F].

[2bornot2bop]

For me, this tune does much better as a ballad, with a rhythm section. It’s one of my favorites.

This is the Chord Melody section of the forum so I posted a chord melody version.

Here is a "Ballad " version of Old Folks with a rhythm section for you. (Quartet App)

I don't know if this qualifies as a chord melody as I am getting quite a bit of help from the Bass and Drums, which sure makes my job easier.
