    Default Jamie - Donald Byrd (Request)

    Hi - if anyone is interested, I’d like some help finishing a chart for Donald Byrd’s lovely short tune 'Jamie' from the album 'Ethiopian Nights'.

    Here is a link to the song: https://youtu.be/PvHQGXdvbDc?si=GQZ2QKzF52GqZlo8

    And here is the beginning of my chart - I have the intro chords but I’d like some help from 0:27 where it starts building to Donald’s entrance (at 0:52).

    Jamie - Donald Byrd

    Thanks!

    I suggest that you go to Chordify.

    https://chordify.net/chords/donald-b...s/jamie-chords

    You can open a free account there that entitles you to research three tunes a day.

    Cheers,

    Cheers, Jerry.

    I started with Chordify but I found a number of their chord choices wrong.

    Also, I'm overthinking it - I'm going to give my ears a bit of a rest and it will be simpler than I thought when I get back to it, no doubt!

    bertisg,

    My view is that unless one has to pass some kind of a test, it's unimportant if the chords differ a smidgen from the original, as long as they work.

    "Street changes" that depart from the composers' originals are common in jazz.

    Cheers,
    Jer
