This is a one shot note. ... Need to practice more on the progression .... Sorry for the wrong notes in the theme ...

Hello,
This is an etude of the tune days of wines and roses where I try to combine the lines and the harmony. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks
Dimitris

Your assignment is to learn this tune. What's cool about it is it's rhythm changes in Ab. The other cool thing are the players. They're monsters.

The melody is simple! maybe 5 notes total! But the rhythms are hard! That is hard to make them swing. So that's your assignment. Play the melody with the metronome, etc.

I just watched a fantastic version of Tony playing this tune solo. There's also a beautiful version of David and Tony playing duo on this tune. Some players play this tune in C, but here we are in Eb. Bill Evans plays it in D and Ab (half chorus in each key). It's nice do this transposing thing with Wine and Roses ala Bill Evans (F and Ab, half a chorus in each key). This is a fun tune to play on with nice changes. There's a nice solo transcription of Jerry Bergonzi playing this tune that can be found on the web.

Sometimes I wonder if I don't post too much ! Will you tell me if I don't bother you with all my posts ? .... lol
Actually I work a lot these days and just discovered good recording sofware ( Logic Pro from Apple - GREAT ! ).
So .... I am happy to share with you. Just that.
