To add one further thing to this meandering "river" thread -- at the risk of causing it to overflow its banks...

I just received the current issue of "Keyboard" Magazine, and Andy LaVerne has a useful little piece on the use of what he calls the "Cry Me a River" riff. Based on the first six notes of the tune, and well-used by many since Bill Evans in the fifties, Andy shows how adaptable this little figure can be over a wide variety of jazz chords.
