    The harmonies are odd when you separate them from the melody. They do work with the melody, which I find to be an interesting phenomenon. I think you did a nice job of connecting these disjointed chords, and making it sound natural.

    Love what Sonny Rollins does here with the tune:



    That push and pull with the rhythm section, even just in the head--is really hip

    Sonny Rollins for President, btw

    For MY tastes, jazz does not get any better than this! We are talking about a different tune in this thread though, right?

    Here is my shot at the tune, with one chorus of soloing, skipping the melody, although I did learn it. I found this a challenge to keep my focus because of the 64 bar form, that's a lot of chords!
