Good morning all.... Rio Di Janeiro Blue by Randy Crawford. I've always liked this song and thought it would be a enjoyable tune to add to my learn a new song/practice set list. It may be a simpler progression than I'm thinking but it does have smooth, hypnotic quality to it. I've searched the internet and only found this site: http://www.all-events-music.com/pdf/...neiro_Blue.PDFThis home page may have a gem or two for someone: http://www.all-events-music.com/scores.htmlObviously, all this hand written lead sheet work has been generously provided by Stephan Urwyler but it's really hard on my old eyes. So, if any can guide me elsewhere....thanks in advance. If it's only for sale somewhere that's fine and I'll pursue that route.

I typed in Rio De Janeiro Blue and got plenty of hits for that tune and the chords. Later, Ray

Here you go: http://uberchords.com/chords/randy-crawford/rio-de-janeiro-blue/ When searching for chords google/bing the song title + chords and you should find them.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I was totally unaware of that search protocol. No wonder all I got was youtube sites in my searching of several pages. Many thanks MarioD for site and the tip. Carry on....

The song I know with Randy Crawford and Joe Sample uses chords much different from what is on the Uber Chords version.
For example, here are the chords of the bridge ("And I get a feeling"):
Dm7b5
G7alt
Cm7
F13
Dm7b5
G7alt/Db
Joe Sample puts some meat on those bones.

G7alt/Db Although I'm glad to have the uberchord as a start I immediately thought that it was a simplified version. I do like that chord progression you outlined for the chorus so I'll use it as I continue on the path. Thank you....

Sure.
Think Cm11 for the beginning chord, not just Cm. In BIAB, I also use a lot of slash bass roots to force the bass line I want. For example, in the first bar you could do:
Cm11 Cm11/G
And there is a nice m7, mMaj7, m7, m6 Joe Sample throws in.

So...based on your assistance here hopefully I'll be able to put an arrangement together.  Thanks again...(just finished getting the lyrics typed up)

With the exception of Matt's chords, I'd forget about the Uber chords for the rest of the chart. They're simply wrong. For instance, on the 9th bar of the vocal that should be an Fm9 for two bars - Cm7 for two bars - Fm7,Gm7, AbMaj7,G7#9, Cm7, etc. Later, Ray

Yep.
Wayne, give it a try and let's see what you come up with. Also provide a music clip of the performance you are using - they are not all the same.

The song was originally done by Richard Torrance & Eureka, and covered by Nicolette Larson so the chords Randy Crawford used may be very different from the original.
I suppose what you find could be any of those three versions, or someone else's substitutions.
It's a very nice song, I used to play flute on pretty much the Richard Torrance version in a band a long time ago - that was a lot of fun.

That occurred to me too after Matt's suggestion to post the version I was listening to for reference and it's progression. Decisions...decisions. I've been listening to the RC version because I didn't know which one I should be referencing. Great...this should complicate my effort to learn this one. Thanks for chiming in....

Randy Crawford alone has done it in quite different ways. Same feel, but different embellishments, fills, etc. That's one reason why I didn't just give you all the chords outright. Plus, I did transcribe it but haven't performed it, so my work hasn't been checked by others.

Randy Crawford alone has done it in quite different ways. OK...I've found these three takes on it. I like this RC/JS rendition but the tempo is a bit to slow for my liking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U05sFAvKoI8Nicolette Larsen version. I prefer RC's vocals and this tempo is a bit too uptempo from my perspective which removes some of the hypnotics of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdaCMdEYbRMWithout doubt, this is my favorite and most appealing version and more appealing tempo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG7rs_RShJcI'm listening to this one as I type and will be using this one for my learning curve. I will use Ray's and Matt's chordal suggestions as a start. Any further corrections/suggestions regarding chord progression with this approach is welcomed. Thank you....

Yes! That third one, your favorite, is the one I used.
Good choice. Great track.
ps Now this thread alone has vaulted me back into the Top Ten Posters of the Month. What do I win?

Good choice. Great track. ps Now this thread alone has vaulted me back into the Top Ten Posters of the Month. What do I win? ....well...belly up to the bar (all welcome) 'cause I'm buyin'...no cheap, wannabe Ameri-beer either! UPDATE: I decided it prudent to order (received) the sheet music (for guitar) because I was getting frustrated with my lack of progress last night and thought it would be a good reference also. The sheet music is in Am which I can't sing in. Yes...a lack of vocal talent issue. So...Cm will work for me in that respect plus it's the same as (or close enough) to my preferred youtube version (to my ears). So far on verse: Cm F In trying to play the youtube version, I need more listening to work out a couple of chordal nuances during the verse then moving on to the next segment. Tis not easy for my pea brain I might add. Thanks....

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
