"John McLaughlin" by Miles Davis

This is a lead sheet for"John McLaughlin" from Miles Davis' Bitches Brew. The F7sus chord at 2nd bar is varied on repeats - try any alteration of a dominant 7th chord. I'm not sure if the chromatically ascending notes (Eb, E, F) leading to the F7sus chord are accurate, but I look forward to hear your commentary on that.

Best regards, Ville

Rosa Na Favela (A Rose Born in the Ghetto)

I'm just wondering if anyone happens to have the accurate changes and melody line to this song. It's a tune by Sivuca.

Thanks,
-Ndhjazz

Chord changes wanted

Here's is a simple bossa. Just play melody as is and then solo and out with main melody. Nothing special. Drop me a note with comments. You have my permission to play or record the tune. All I ask is composer credit.

"In A Silent Way" by Miles Davis

Here's a medley from Miles Davis' "In A Silent Way" (1969, Columbia) in lead sheet notation. The potpourri consists of three pieces: 1) "Shhh/Peaceful", 2) "In A Silent Way", and 3) "It's About That Time". The 2nd tune was repeated at the end of 3rd piece to conclude the set.

This daring blend of rock and jazz shocked the mouldy jazz critics, but was later on rated among the finest in Miles' outputs of his career. The title track was originally written by Joe Zawinul, but Miles cut down the rather complex chord changes in order to make it more "rock"; still, the rubato piece sounds more like a ballad. The sparse harmonies ring over the continuous E pedal that is played on a bowed bass.

The other pieces - "Shhh/Peaceful" and "It's About That Time" - are played in a strict rock groove. The first piece has only one chord (D7sus4) that is interpreted somewhat freely. The continuous bass figure has only two notes. The structure is wide open for lengthy solos. The latter is more abstract harmonically and is composed of three sections that alternate in the course of solos.

"Spanish Key" by Miles Davis

Hi there!

Here's a lead sheet for Miles' "Spanish Key" as performed on his "Bitches Brew". Miles employs so called "coded phrases" in order to direct the band. Phrygian modes are applied here both on D7#9 and E7#9 chords. I guess that the word "Spanish" in the title stems from the Phrygian mode, which has a strong Spanish flavor. The four sections (letters A, B, C, D) are repeated over and over again in the following order:
1) Introduction;
2) A (main theme = phrase 1);
3) Phrase 2;
4) B (solo);
5) C (solo);
6) Phrase 3;
7) D (solo);
8) Phrase 3;
9) C (solo);
10) Phrase 3;
11) D (solo);
12) A (main theme)
13) Phrase 2;
14) B (solo);
15) C (solo);
16) Phrase 3;
17) D (solo);
18) A (main theme);
19) Phrase 2 (Miles plays the phrase and band ends on D7#9).
