SONG: Cry Me a River
ARTIST: Julie London
ALBUM: Julie Is Her Name (1955)
WRITER: Arthur Hamilton (1953)
INSTRUMENTS:
- ELECTRIC GUITAR: Barney Kessel
- DOUBLE BASS: Ray Leatherwood
By now, this song is a classic jazz standard. This version, however, was the breakthrough of the song, when it became a hit for Julie London in 1955 and subsequently appeared in the 1956 comedy "The Girl Can't Help It". This recording also greatly aided the musical career of jazz-guitarist Barney Kessel who arranged and recorded the recognizable chord voicings of the intro-section.
I updated my transcription in a few places since making this video in 2018!
The update is available on my website ☺🎸
Nice to see (at last!) a transcription that is wholly accurate.
I wish that were 100% true. Be sure to get the most-wholly accurate update on my website ;)
This song with Julie London singing and Barney Kessel at the guitar is a gem. Thanks so much for this! The song is so melancolic and sad that I can hear it 100 times and still nearly crying because of this special mood.
Trust me, as the transcriber who heard every single bar a hundred times over, this recording still fascinates me!
I've loved this version since about 1967-68 when I first heard it. Saw Barney Kessel in the 80's, great performer.
E minor 9 is still the most beautiful chord of all for me.
Julie London, the beautiful blues singer...wonderful song and voice!
Great.
this is gold men, thanks!
You're welcome :)
Wasn't looking for the sheet music but what a great version this is. She could deliver a song and Barney Kessel doesn't hurt
Yeah, absolutely! This was the big breakthough hit for Julie London, which basically defined her career. This whole album is a little arrangement masterpiece by Barney Kessel. You can find the whole album available on my website.
Awesome shes the best love to sing like her
Thank you so much for this. Exactly what I was looking for.
You're very welcome!
You & me both...albeit a year apart😂
Exceptional work. Thank you
This is awesome...been looking for a new jazz standard to learn.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome! Great to see a full guitar and bass transcription! Thank you!
A shame it's incorrect.
@@MGrayl-ib5fo know a better one?
@@MGrayl-ib5fo My ears say it's NOT incorrect. One of music's important building blocks is the ii-V7-i cadence which here is (typically) set up with C# the tritone substitute for G; ain't nothing incorrect about hearing that! ;-)
@M-Grayl1983 - 0:35 doesn't appear to be a mistake. C# is a tritone substitute for G and its use here adds a nice harmonic surprise!
Indeed. Another way of looking at it is that the sequence *C**#m7**(b5) -> F**#m7** -> B7* is just a kind of *II-V-I* cadence.
Maravilha!! Obrigado por compartilhar. Curitiba, Paraná - Brasil
Really nice
Great stuff
Thank you!
That was great!!!. Thank you!
The entry by Kessel to this song has became classic that so many guitarists try to emulate but no one does it with the smoothness and class of Kessel. We all miss you Barney and RIP.
My congratulations to your work, really interesting, helpful, thanks a lot!
A pure jem. You have a new subscriber
This appears to be as Julie London sang it.....but does anyone know whether this is available with vocal notes included? None of the other transcriptions I've come across so far, that do have the piano and vocal as well, are in this key.
Heaven
Forgot the guitarist he also makes her sound great.Hes choice.
I'm interested that you went for G# - much of the sheet music I've seen is in concert Bb or Eb. Was there a reason for your choice?
I am not sure, I understand your question? Are you talking transpositions for horn instruments, or? (This is notated in concert pitch for guitarists and bassists.)
the best
This might be a dumb question but how do you get your guitar to sound like that? Is there a name for that type of sound? the way it does in all of the album's songs
I supposed it's a fat jazz guitar sound.
There are at least 4 elements in this equation: The player, the instrument, the amplifier, and the microphones for the recording session. I am no gear nerd, however, so let's hope someone comments below :)
0:35 - found a mistake already - that bass note is a D not a C#.
let's see your score then
@@sprinkleLPs I don't need scores. My ears work.
@@MGrayl-ib5fo sure, but can you prove it? I doubt it
@@sprinkleLPs It's not on me to prove anything. It's on YOU to prove that this video is correct. Which it isn't.
@@MGrayl-ib5fo You're the one claiming you can do something better than someone else, so prove that you can otherwise you're a liar.
I have not heard enough of her.
She belongs to the group of singers like Peggy Lee and Doris Day
lol
