Very nice, Andy!

For variety, I like to use what I think is a cool reharm in the 2nd bar: Abm9 Db9 instead of Fm7 Bb7. But whomever you're playing it with has to know you're going to do that. It sounds odd when bass & piano are using the original changes against it, especially under a chord melody head. Thanks for all your great contributions to the forum!

I really wish I spoke German to get the most out of these lessons.
