Hi,
My friend Diana and I want to do Nature Boy, as performed by Abbey Lincoln on her 1995 record 'A turtle's dream':

Julien Lourau plays the tenor saxophone while Abbey sings the song and we love this version very much.
I tried making a transcription. The point is that I can find the notes that Julien plays (I play it on the alto saxophone, so then it is in G minor, starting with D-Eb-D C-Bb-A-G-Gb D-Eb-D C-Bb-A G-Gb-D-C-A-Bb...). But I have difficulties writing the rhythm of the notes. Btw, Abbey sings the tune in 4/4 and not in 3/4 as in the real book. The tune has a very nice solo I think you all would love to play!
I hope someone has more experience in writing down music and wants to do this.
And is there someone who can tell me what chords are used in every measure (about 60 measures, but it is with repetition, I think 4 bars (intro)-12 bars -13 bars-1 bar -12 bars (saxsolo) - 13 bars - repetition of last 5 bars -...)
I have nice music to give you in exchange for helping me out!
