Wow - transcribing Jaco is a formidable undertaking! I agree that it's interesting to play "guitar" tunes on piano and vice versa. Keeps them sounding fresh.
When you make those giant leaps, do you look at the keys? Also...when you make bass note leaps in other tunes (such as in stride playing).....are you able to do it without looking at the keys? Asking because I learned to play by looking---and I'm trying to break the habit, but find it difficult when there are any kind of leaps.
So the N.C. (G/A) means no chord the first time playing the head, then play a G/A every other time? Or just no chord during the head, then G/A for solos?
I missed this for some reason, YT didn't alert me. Excellent effort and so rare on piano, Bright Size Life is a classic album as is Watercolors. Interesting at 3:11, I think you're playing the + 9 C to the natural third C# and then to the 13th F# for A7/E or something like that. Certainly a dissonant interval, Monk often played odd jumps like that, particularly flat 9 intervals I think but I'm sure I've heard him do that as well.
Yeah, That #9 seemed out of place to me at first, so I checked the Real Book against the recording and found that the note is correct as written. It's a little bit of melodic oddity in an otherwise fairly tonal piece. The melodic jumps are intriguing too. I'm glad you liked this one, James. I'm finding that going through the book in sequence is making me confront songs that I would otherwise skip over.

My favorite PM tune, and you sir, enchanted me with your version. I'll be pulling up this video may more times just to listen. Thank you!
Thanks Francisco - good luck with your playing :)
Just started working on transcribing jacos solo. Super cool to hear the tune in a different context on piano

Thanks Luca!
Beautiful beyond words, dude!
Thanks for the kind words - you made my day!

Thanks!
Love this. You are a master.
Thanks, Trevor! This is such a beautiful, yet unusual tune. Definitely worth learning :)

I love the tempo here. A lot of people covering this song play it way too fast IMHO. That melody needs not to be hurried.
Thanks David! I agree about the tempo, and part of it is because I can't actually play the melody any faster!!!
