Lush Life - Billy Strayhorn

[DaleMac]

iReal pro doesn't offer a standard way to indicate triplets.
I think I've seen some charts that used a text indication of one sort or another.

Those were probably my charts, Bob. Unfortunately, several versions ago, the ability to use many "special characters" was disabled. I pleaded a couple of time to get them back, but apparently they confuse the file code.

I know this is blasphemy, but I think Lush Life is a dreary tedious song. (It's made even worse when overly-indulgent singers do it so slow I need to shave again when it's finished. Nature Boy and Lazy Afternoon are two others I'd like to toss into a bottomless pit.) But it does have some cool changes and I have heard versions I don't hate. I prefer to play it with a salsa feel, so here's my personal chart. Alternate chords have been harvested from various sources including Billy Taylor, Tito Puente, and a pianist I met one summer while working on a cruise ship - you can thank him for the Coda outro.

DaleMac,

Not blasphemy at all!

Beautiful version. Thanks much. I'm going to try it out on my next gig.

Cheers,

Perhaps this link can help android users with their personal charts:
