This tune is one we should all know, but I didn’t know it other than by name. A check shows that this hasn’t been called in the main ToTM in at least 8 years. It was called as a Beginner’s / Intermediate a few years ago.
The song form is traditional AABA with the A section staying largely centered on C-. The bridge starts in the relative major (Eb) and works over to F- (ish) and closes with a ii - V in C- back to the A section. There are a couple of chords I’ve written in parentheses in the bridge which are in the generated backing tracks I generated from iReal Pro.
The sections with extended static harmony around a single key center are challenging for my current level of development so I called it to try to push my skills. Not the key center, but keeping the improvising interesting throughout.
I’ve uploaded a number of tracks at a variety of tempi. I’ve generated tracks from 152 - 220 bpm at 16-20 bpm intervals with 5 choruses. If anyone needs a lower tempo ask and I’ll generate it. Finally there’s an Aebersold track from Round Midnight (Volume 40) at 240bpm with 9 choruses and a tag / outro. I think the tracks are all labeled clearly.
I’ve also uploaded Real Book pages for the generated backing tracks and the Aebersold pages for that track. These are also clearly named.
