It's bugging me. Just heard a 'mystery' standard on the radio. Can't quite place it. I'm sure I've played it many times in a trad band.
Not sure of key but in F, say, the chords would be:
F///F///A7///A7///
Dm///Dm///Cm7///F7///
Bb/// etc
32 bar strain.
Any ideas please!
TIA

Changes are so typical... sounds like many songs of doo-wop era (Twilght time, Only You).
It is more like a 'gospel/soul' turnaround
But I can't think of any jazz standard that fits that pattern completely.
Tunes that start from I - VII7... there are not so many of them in trad jazz.
What comes to my mind is Georgia, All of Me, All The Way, I'll Be Seeing You, Someday My Prince Will Come... but further on they all have different changes. All the Way is the closest probably

Just found it on YouTube. Title unknown.

Sounds like such a generic dixieland))) No wonder it is called 'Uknown'
Could be just changes with collective improvization
Reminds me this Woody Allen tune too

McCoy Tyner style Pentatonic sequence with 5ths,...
