Here's That Rainy Day - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold Tune #1

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

My statement makes sense to those who can read well enough (which apparently does not include you) to know that it was a reply to Hammertone's comment: "Makes me wonder what percentage of the global...
