I listened to this a few times before the obvious finally clicked: the harmony has more than just friendly relations with Moments Notice, Ha. I like it, who else would have thought to do that?

[@timcummiskey1178]

Brilliant work.

[@roderickberry2508]

Jerry is an unsung giant ! You best believe he is the truth!

[@dimitriskaraganis]

amazing solo!

[@humanewman]

It's the reharmonization that makes it particularly hip. Gonna steal it. Thanks!

[@musamor75]

Naughty 😉

[@altrane40]

You can really hear the Joe Henderson influence in this solo! Thanks Remi!

[@PhilDwyer]

Crazy, Gonz

[@selmergrunon]

this is moments notice changes with major third chords apart but he play just friends sort of melody

I thought this sounded like Coltrane changes. Thought it was giant steps for a sec. This reminds me of how Robert Glasper put the melody Maiden Voyage onto the changes of Everything in its Right Place by Radiohead.

[@remi.bolduc]

The Flying Nimbus There is that major third chords sequence yes ! At the end with the min chords going up by major 3rd. Maybe Just Friends meet Moment's Notice and Giant Steps !

[@Bluezy4Life]

Sounds like there’s changes from moments notice

[@remi.bolduc]

Yes that's what it is at the beginning of the sections. Then, there is different changes. Bergonzi sounds amazing as usual.

[@pepperwilliams4428]

This dude can play!!!! But one can readily hear and see where is influence lies..............ALL TO THE GREAT MASTER, JOHN COLTRANE!!!!

Is it possible to download this transcription?

[@remi.bolduc]

go on my website www.remibolduc.com under transcription

[@exonlon]

Why are these the same changes as Trane's Moments Notice? It's not just me, is it?

[@remi.bolduc]

You are right. The beginning is based on Moment's Notice. Not the whole thing right ? But that exactly where the changes do come from.
