What key? Most recordings I found were in Ab. Realbook is in F. What do most do with this?

Me and my friend Chris always played it in F. I'm sure he nicked a few ideas from Doc Watson.
which means I can't pretend I invented that nice little end lick :-)

Took the day off work for my son's preschool graduation, sat outside in the sun all day, drank a bunch of wine. Somewhere in there, I did this.
Don't drink and swang, kids.

Here's something. 'Dig' is a contrafact of SGB. Listen to Sonny Rollins play those lines!

Here's my take

I expected a gypsy jazz take, but, hmm ... 7?

1 less 8th note to worry about

Have we had this disgraceful demonstration yet? Man's an animal :-)

Talent and class here (and vintage sunglasses)

My take of this standard
and helped by the beginning of the version of Benny Goodman.

It helps to get some horsepower in the rhythm section.

There would probably be fewer mistakes if I had recorded it this morning after breakfast and coffee - as opposed to recording it last night after going out to dinner. Seemed like a fine idea at the time...

It was odd*. But mine's odder because it's monotonous...
I mean, being odd's okay except when it becomes the norm, till then you're okay. But it's no substitute for good music, naturally.
It's interesting, there's a fine line between odd and good. Pushing the boat out is good, being too weird isn't. Listening to some avant-garde stuff, it's not odd, it's serious, it just about stays this side of odd. How they do it is a mystery.
But I ramble... more than usual.
Actually that solo was just a pretty bland bossa thing before I changed the backing. I'm tempted to include it for comparison's sake. What does yours sound like with the usual changes?
* nicely played, though, let's be fair!
