Thanks from Buffalo, NY USA ! I've always loved this song. Grew up playing piano, and now have a piano once again after not having one for decades. Getting back into playing and now I know that this song is definitely one I can learn ! Very happy! Thank you again, good Sir ! I enjoy your playing. You are very talented, and you love music. Bless you !

[@radiolocke]

This actually didn’t help me learn to play the song nowhere near as much as some of the other tutorials on here, but I feel I definitely got my clicks worth by hearing your awesome skills and a great rendition, so I’ll take it.

good work man...

[@marcosquitopianolounge6350]

Thank you for sharing !!! Very good !! By the way, the "D7" part I think I've heard using D7 altered ( with #9). Is that possible ?

[@noonewatchesmyvideos3891]

The real book isn't always accurate

[@noonewatchesmyvideos3891]

But either way goes

[@WilliamSlaght]

Well technically speaking there is no C7 in the piece, but it is implied through the Gm7. This a modal piece although tonal in reality because of the turnaround, it is mostly modal. Throughout the song you can always hear the bass playing G in the bass (except during the turnaround). Goes from G Mixolydian (G7) to G Dorian (Gm7) to imitate the progression I - IV - I, but in a modal sense. The turnaround is as you said D7 to Eb7 to D7 with them #9s. I see many people get the changes incorrect as you did, and I see in fake books the second chord is written as C7, but that's false. They're fake books for a reason.

+LinkBulletBill thats true

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Real Book is often Wrong Book. The new ones from Sher Publishing are good, In the old mimeographed/photocopied illegal books, done by students, chords were MAYBE 80% correct (if that) "jazz is not a 99% proposition"-- arranger/trumpeter" Ray Brown.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

"all notes are correct" sure, but play a C7 or C13 in the 5th bar and watch
the soloist and bassist cringe.

[@don4476]

People can arrange it however they wish.

[@samtotheg]

i knew i heard a minor sound after the G7 I use a gmin9 or gm7 for the shift into dorian mode

[@unsuwe7248]

Yeah, cool approach, man!

[@asdfjklol]

I wish the channel name was more explicit about who this is and where he's from.

Goed Engels gesproken ook

A pianist who doesn't understand volume control. What a surprise.
