There’s a lot of controversy about that. We actually don’t know for sure which of the two it was … and we probably never will. But one thing I will say for sure: the tune with that dense melody and all those twists and turns, the tune sounds a lot more like Bird than Miles.
Nick(or anyone with a better understanding than i ),why do you have the etude headed"Donna Lee Etude(C)" when it is in Ab?Why (C)?Apologies for dumbass question...
Very useful video.
Have a great Year Nathan!
Thank you Nick. I recognised it as soon as I heard the progression, it's classic. Now though, I better understand why. Thank you.
Great explanation of the changes. Looking forward to the etude collection (this and the Joy Spring etude are great)
Awesome! Love the horizontal theme in the etude!
Donna Lee were in fact composed by Mles Davi
