| LearnJazzPiano.com archives: Suggestions for standards in 3/4 time? | |
| Dreamboat -- 04/12/2005, 17:03:28 -- #12755 | |
| I'm really digging playing in 3/4 at the moment. Some that I know of already : Tenderly Bill Evans - Elsa, Waltz for Debby, Someday my Prince, etc. Any futher suggestions? | |

| The "Theme from Mr. Broadway", which is in one of the Real Books. Its by Dave Brubeck, and works great for solo piano. I have no idea what the origin of the title is. | |

| Also, La Fiesta, by Chick Corea. Very cool, but listen to a recording so you can make the lead sheet a bit more interesting, and pay attention to the corrections if you are using the Real Book. | |

| Just about every recording I've heard of Fly Me To The Moon is in 4/4. Why is that? | |
| bearman -- 04/12/2005, 19:54:54 -- #12772 | |
| I think it was originally in 3/4. | |

| " Greensleeves | Em7 | A7 | Dmaj7 | Gmaj7 | | C#m7b5 | F#7 | Bm7 | B7 | " did you notice that they are very similar to Spain changes? interesting. | |

| pringe, Minor tunes that attempt to follow a circular formula ALL tend to be similar. For more information on WHY that is the case, read http://Jeff-Brent.com/Lessons/minors.html Pay special attention to chapter 5 entitled "The Broken Circle". Also available as a pdf in the files in the room here called "7's Heaven". | |
