Bye Bye Blackbird, music by Ray Henderson, lyrics by Mort Dixon. It was published in 1926 by Jerome Remick. This song entered public domain in 2022. I was listening to Keith Jarrett play this the other day and really liked the alternate chord changes he used. So... I used the standard changes on the melody and used Keith Jarretts alternate changes for the solo section. Enjoy!
Key- F Major. Tempo- quarter note=200.

This was a fun one to record and play.
Really nicely done, Steve. I enjoyed the combination of chord changes. One comment about your description on YouTube. Condenser mics DO require phantom power. Dynamic and ribbon mics don't. Your Sennheiser 441 is a dynamic mic, which I think is what you meant to say.

Steve, love your arrangement and SUPER playing. BiaB has some great jazz tracks, and you've done a nice job putting the band together. Cool video, and awesome t-shirt. Great job!

Good catch! I posted the video late in the evening and was pretty tired. Again, thanks for letting me know.

Thanks! I love that old Metheny Unity Band shirt. It's gotten a lot of wear. I wonder if he still has some for sale... gonna have to check his website.
PS - I saw Pat Metheny with Joshua Redmen, Christian McBride and Jack DeJohnette. What a fantastic show. They were so in the pocket and jamming that they were told to take a break so the venue could sell its stuff!
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Some really excellent licks in your delivery. Uplifting and very vibrant.
Well done.

Man... I so filled with envy. I have never gotten to hear Jack DeJohnette live. What a killer line-up.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
Hello, Steve. Bye-Bye Bllackbird. Keith jarret was a sensational drummer back in the day at the Deer Head. His Koln concert double album is still one of my all-time favorites. Man, you so this song justice, Steve. Soaringly sweet in timber and taste. Excellent arangement.
Enjoy whatever happens! marty
