A Kiss To Build A Dream On

[emanresu]

Hm. It's swinging, its very nice, couldn't find it in realbooks old or new. Not considered a jazz standard?

I tried to figure out the chords from Armstrong's version and this is what I got:

INTRO
|| C Ebdim D- G7#9#5 ||

A
||: C C C [C/E Ebdim] |

| D- C#dim D- C#dim |

| D- C#dim D- G7 |

|1. C C#dim G9#11 :||

|2. C [F G7] C (C)||

B
|| F- Bb13 Eb C7 |

| F- Bb13 Eb Eb |

| E- G7 C- C- |

| A- D7 G G7 ||
A
||...........
| C C D- G7 ||


If you know it and find mistakes, please let me know.
Thanks.

The real book is not the arbiter of what counts as a jazz standard. I haven’t played General Mojo’s Well Laid Plan too much on pickup gigs.

This song is definitely considered a standard.

Look in the Internet Archive for a song book called „Film Songs Of The 90s“ which has a vocal/piano arrangement (probably based on the original sheet music). You have to log in with an account or a Google account to “borrow” that one.

Also in the Internet Archive is the 10 volume “Million Dollar Library” fake book which has the tune-dex-card for this song (better log out before downloading that one).

I googled the song name + ‘lead sheet’ and got this, don’t know if it’s accurate.

Thank you!

I googled a bit myself but can't ask questions about the chords there. And they got some differences as always.

Here are my changes. Mostly the same but with a few tweaks I prefer.

i play it like that but with a G7+ in bar one instead of the Dm

[emanresu]

So.. 1st bar.. Dm7, G7+ or F7.... G7 seems to fit with melody the most. By "fit" I mean safest.

The Firehouse version has Fm at the end of "A". That sounds new to me.
