I am trying to think about this tune, for soloing, in terms of various tensions and resolutions. It's tempting to look at measures 3-6 and just think "Oh, F Major!" but it actually doesn't feel right. It feels like the Gm7/C7 is meant somehow to relate more to the Cm7 in mm 1-2, and the Fmaj7 seems to me to start a new idea, setting up the Fm7/Bb7/EbMaj7. Am I just making up problems here?
Also... I have this irresistible urge to think of "Blue Bossa" and "Green Dolphin Street" when trying to solo over these changes. Drives me crazy (short trip).
Finally... traditional heads that are short get played twice in jam sessions before the solos start. I hear some recordings of this where they just play the 12 bar head once and then launch into solos. What's the most common jam session practice on this tune?

This does not apply to soloist musicians.

Hope we're talking about jazz jam - where emotions, positive energy and interesting improvisations are important, which draw the audience into communing with jazz.

Two chords mean that, for example, the bass may shift or leave one of the parts of the form. You have to be vigilant. Either play your own or follow the bass ... misunderstandings can occur. f ex.On the basis of Dm, you play solo in Ebm.Be Carefull.
Real jazz is a "team game".If you stay together, the effect is just right.

Give real jams a try ... it's a great experience.

Not sure if anyone has posted this duo recording by Sco and Abercrombie - I think they went a bit overboard on the delay/reverb, but it's a good version:

get to choose a standard myself, or maybe even come up with something of my own?
i can certainly do the last thing outside of the normal JGBE framework, and have it be more of an open thing.
Thoughts?
