You are the promised kiss of springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are, are mine
Thanks, this is perfect for me to practice with. Nice uptempo version. Much appreciated by those of us who don't get the opportunity to play with others very much.
Thanks for using the right changes. Aebersold has some versions of this classic but they use contiguous II-V's instead of the dim. chord in the last few bars. Don't be scared of bIII dim, jazzers!
Rob Grenville from RealChords Pro iPad app here. Complex song? Not as hard as it looks. If you let the modes follow you it makes it easy. The first five bars are in Ab. These five chords are all in the Ab chord scale so the modes follow you from F-7= Aeolian; Bb-7= Dorian; Eb7= Mixo; AbM7= Ionian, DbM7=Lydian. You stay in Ab and the modes follow you. The D-7, G7 and Cm7 are 2,5,1 in C so again the modes follow you if you stay in C. C-7,F-7, Bb7, EbM7 and AbM7 are all chords in the Eb chord scale so you play in Eb and the modes follow you. And so on. This technique is not THE way to play, it's just the most economical and a good place to start. Letting the chords work for you is easier on the brain than trying to follow each change.
That makes it really modal which is definitely not the point of this song as the melody and the period of the song tell us. Knowing which scale goes where is great but that should only be a tool to make playing into harmony easier, meaning that it's more important to hit the right notes than play a bunch of scales. So I absolutely agree with this being a good place to start, but definitely not the right way to play it. Or you can play some modern fusion stuff of what ever and stick to Ab major scale for half of the song not thinking about chords, which is in my opinion tasteless
Marija Asd Sure you have to follow the chord tones but the first 5 chords have to be analized as a common scale progression that with some chord tones and some good melodies will make up a great solo...
It's much easier to learn the progression of the song when you play arpeggios and voice-lead. Playing with the modes can work, too. But melody and chords are more important (in the beginning).
any advice on learning chord changes by ear? I have pretty decent pitch, and I pick up the melody with ease, but hearing chords is just a dead end for me. Guitar player, btw
I'm no expert. Play a bit of piano and guitar; not a jazzer. I hope this doesn't sound too obvious, but have you tried singing the arpeggios? Preferably with relatively simple/slow songs to start with, even just triads; don't want the chord changes flying by too quickly. Seems quite intuitive to me; don't over-think it. You can usually get the inversions right, too (hear top or bottom note and go down or up from there).
Hey! Hope you enjoy your practicing session. Feel free to post a video of you jamming along below! We made this backing track with a cool practice tool called Band-in-a-Box. If you want to check out all the things you can do with it click here: www.learnjazzstandards.com/band-in-a-box/

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
Just imagine. Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Yes, but do you have Prince Albert in a can?
These videos literally took my jazz improvisation skills to the next level!! Please continue posting and inspiring musicians like myself!!!

Excellent backing track! Using these with my students
a real blessing to post these trax! thanks a ton!
Following the example of other performances, this is also very nice
i love jazz
Great ! This is a standard I love, and I can increase my improvisation's skills thank's.
Please do Ask Me Now! We need to practice some Monk tunes!
Whoah there tiger. This moves along at a nice quick clip, a tad scary at first but a great help when I finally got to grips with it. Thanks a lot.

Valuable observation.
These play alongside ad so helpful for improvosation

Can you imagine being good enough to play with a group like this? I have dreams!!!

Understand the interval first and then try to train your ear to differentiate between major, minor and dominant chords.
is your name really bablo biggins?

Keys: Part A "Ab-C" Part B"Eb-G" Par C"G-E-Fm" Part D"Ab"
No one knew
Thanks
Are there any play-alongs for drums?
The play back speed of .75 is quarter note=124 BPM (beats per minute ).
what is the best recording that is also in this key, anyone?
