been looking at this
they’re hugely simplified ….
eg first 4 bars (in C) are
written as
|C. |C. |D7. G7| C. |
yikes that’s a bit different then !
I wonder who first played the big
decending bass line dominated
chord fest that is commonly played
these days …. ??
(if you respond ,can I request that for clarity , we all talk in C please ?)Last edited by pingu; 02-14-2024 at 01:32 PM.

So the motion is expected.

Key of C 4/4
[ C | C | D7 G7 | C |
| Dm7 | G7 | C | C7 |
| F | Bm7 E7 | A | A |
| Am7 | D7 | Dm7 | G7+ |
| C | C | D7 G7 | C |
| Dm7 | G7 | C | C7 |
| F | E7 | A | Ebdim7 |
| Dm7 | G7 | C | C |
I suppose you know that he doesn't qualify his major chords. In other words, the C, F and A chords would normally be played as M7's. With probably a C6 right at the end because it sounds better!
(G7+ usually means G7#5. Or G7b13 as they like to call it these days)

Cmaj type stuff over those first 4 bars
it all sound great and ‘correct’
very interesting ….
previously i had been trying to outline
all those fancy chords and I sounded
forced and awkward ….
I like the simplification ….
anyone finding anything similar ?
or something different ?

Simplifications aren't usually published much. In fact, the lead sheets for this tune aren't at all simple. I've got one in Eb and another in Ab with all sorts of complex chords, often two per bar.
That's why the Vanilla Book is popular with starter players. Easier to play, easier to solo with, etc. I use it quite often myself :-)
