Docbop Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It's just two long II-V-I's in the particular version of a tune so could be a lots of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz+ Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Most standards by far favor the variations of I vi ii V, starting on the I. Maybe 5 tunes in Real Book Vol. I use the strict ||: ii | V | I | I :|| for their A sections (in bold text below). But here are a minority that actually harp on the pacing and essence of ||: ii | V | I | I :|| it"s really not very common.

cedar Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I assume that the OP is saying that the progression consists of the entire A section, rather than just a portion of the A section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfume Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yeah I missed out the flat. Ive been playing that tune on nylon acoustic guitar and D maj is a nice key for that. Em7b5 /Bb is not gittar friendly - nice on the Steinway though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docbop Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yes I get it. D is a beautiful acoustic guitar key for Brazilian/ Bossa type interpretations of Standards and such. There's a reason so Many of Jobim's tunes were written in D, A and G. The Jazz people just put them in their friendly keys- Bb, Eb and F. Those Guitar keys are so they can use open strings which can add nice sound and some case play more piano like voicings. Jazz guitarist like Jim Hall used to play a lot in "Jazz" flat keys because he could use the open strings to add altered tensions to chords.
