Leberwurst Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Here's the sheet to Black Orpheus. I've remade the first 16 bars and am not yet ready with the last 16 bars. http://www.esnips.com/doc/bd041928-d22f-476e-9152-6427d91f8a95/Black-Orpheus No chords over the notes, I'm sorry, but giving Finale chords more complex than Mi7 is a nightmare. I've always put the root as the lowest note. Quote The Dromb Bopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Man I am scrambling to download all this audio every chance I get here in Hawaii. I am throwing everything on my iPod so I can have a nice reharm playlist. I can't wait to get back to the piano and play through some of these myself and continue with some contributions of my own. You guys are prolific!

SK Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Bobadohshe, so you're in Hawaii but you can't wait to get back to music. Now that's dedication. Quote CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well I'm not saying I'd rather be back in L.A. sitting at the piano, but it IS frustrating watching all of you throw killer ideas at each other and me not being able to take part. All I'm doing out here is playing reggae. Not much room for reharm there.

SK Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Bobby, reggae is begging for reharm. You should be fully energized/full of ideas when you get back - then you can throw killer ideas at us. Think of Hawaii as reharm prep. Dave Ferris called me to tell everyone he'll be MIA for some undetermined period of time. He's reharming the Brandenberg Concertos -- no, his computer went on STRIKE. He's waiting to see if it can be fixed (it won't turn on, and he smelled electrical smoke which can't be good) or if he's going to buy a new one. He's considering a new Mac. Instead of sending your reharm requests by mail to Glendale, Ca., let's hope Dave can be back soon. His computer is a few years old, so it might be time for a new one.

SK Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 That's some dense, rich stuff, David! Thanks for putting it up. I love some of those chordal movements but not sure I can identify the 7 note chord. One possibility was the chord at the top of the 7th bar, with bass note added (a low B?). If that's it, we're looking at a slash on that chord symbol. Quote CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....... Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 SK, thats not the chord I meant, but it does have 7 notes, when the low bass note is added - I missed that one. There is another. You must have ears of doom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moj Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Here's a reharm chart of the bridge to The Girl From Ipanema. This was from a thread regarding reharms of TGFI a couple of years ago. I thought I'd contribute in a small way. There is a lot of great experience and knowledge from the main contributors. It's interesting how a jazz standard can be heard in a completely different way.

marino Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 In a hurry from school... marino, nice voicings on "You Don't Know What Love Is." Always loved that song. Thanks... I just read the charts, but I think I didn't nail the spirit... after all this time, it's like this stuff was written by someone else... next ones will be more recent reharms. This is the trio on the "It's You Or No One" track doing the same song. A video for a change, from our basement sessions. But the camcorder tape ran out just as I started my solo. http://www.divshare.com/download/3840635-e7b aaargghh, it's frustrating to hear the song stop at that point... I want the piano solo! You have a beautiful trio of musicians, though. And I reduced the quality down on my latest Beautiful Love to 4MB. So hopefully that should work. Downloading the 'original' on the right of the page will sound better. Only 4MB: http://www.divshare.com/download/4135786-ed9 The compression works very well, thanks! And about the song... ulp. You were able to effectively reunite elements of my version with some of Dave's darker harmonies, and adding the even more 'out' element of the modified melody... in this context, the montuno assumes a mysterious character, almost ominous. At this point, doing it in 7 could have sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Yikes, I have some listening to catch up on in this thread. Hopefully by tomorrow I can. Great to see more input, from mojazz and everybody. Carlo, yeah, that was a rush job on 'Beautiful Love." I liked it okay up to the last 8 bars, which I'd like to completely redo to give it a new 'softer landing'. Some mysteriousness is okay when it's reconciled or resolved to something positive, but ominousness is not the desired result. Usually when I do a reharm, I try to keep it in a playable format for improvising, so it won't exist only as a composition. But this was the Frankenstinian version. On "You Don't Know What Love Is", it was very frustrating when I realized the tape had run out before my solo, because I remember really enjoying the whole piece when we did it.

SK Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sue, I can't hear your track either. Interesting Ipanema bridge, mojazz. I really like that it starts on an F13. And here's a simple, generic version of the bridge that can be used on band gigs. Nothing special. Pardon the musical 'etcetera' at the end. http://www.divshare.com/download/4145094-8e7 I rarely play the song, although ITGITC threatened we'd play it at the Mid-Atlantic Jam. Now I'd like to commission Beeboss to do an extreme bridge variation. Quote CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, I love this. It's good to use simpler harmonies sometimes, and I like how you went more out at the end. Trouble is, you inspired me to do another version of Black Orpheus. It's slightly more perverse: I wanted to see until what point I could stretch the harmony, and still keep that 'diatonic' feeling... in other words, stretching the changes and keeping the song pleasant to a casual listener. I guess I still was under the 'tropical' influence from 'Beautiful Love'... but I also threw in a few totally gratuitous bop dominant cycles just for fun. No leadsheet this time, sorry... I didn't even write the symbols down. Apologies for the rough spots - it was done real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Quite different, interesting and inventive, Carlo. Yes, simpler harmonies can have a beauty. BTW, my 'version' wasn't a version, it was just playing the tune quickly to demonstrate some simple chords on the bridge. A couple things, not being critical here, but just regarding the tune itself: It's a very simple song. It's also a lot of A minor, so the song has an emotional limit to it. Before it goes far, it's back to Am (or F# half diminished.) Since there's not a lot to it, the tune needs to breathe, and that's why I probably won't attempt a big reharm on it myself -- although you played it beautifully.

marino Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well, I believe that being critical is generally a good thing... so thanks. I absolutely agree about the character of the song; as I said, my intention was to stretch it as far as possible... so I probably went too far. In fact, I went so far as starting the tune with a F#7, with a flatted fifth and raised ninth, *followed* by a F#m7b5 and a B7... Simpler reharms are coming.

SK Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well, Carlo, I wasn't being critical of your playing, rather the possibilities of the tune itself.
