Well said. I will post this tune even if it's late. I've done the work, but it ain't real until you can perform it live for an audience, or when the record button is pushed. Otherwise...

If the change were C to A7, it would be pretty common. Same for C to E7. Pretty common. Changing the C to a C7 doesn't seem like that big a deal. The intervening Bb7 can be considered a...

You're actually on your way. Your use a lot of open strings, but it's your sound and it defines who you are as a musician. Don't change that. The jazz sound is a combination of phrasing and the...

Useful insights, thanks :) Interesting re. bass motion and those two tunes. In the key of C and in the key of A minor: G7 E7 Am(7) C7 A7 Dm(7) I think those two function as minor...

Here is my arrangement (attached) - the chords anyway, obviously I wouldn't play it straight like this (oh, I forgot to add an intro to it, I'll do that). I'll record my rendition. Re: the tune...

Thanks for the additional info!

Victor Baker 17" from 2008..........
