"Gypsy Spirit" and "Time on Mt Hands" Grilles?

Michael Bauer

Has anyone ever worked up a grille for the Tchavalo/Romane tune "Gypsy Spirit", or any gypzy jazz version of "Time On My Hands" (or any gypsy jazz version)?

Michael - Here is what I have for "Time." It follows Fapy's version pretty well as I remember, though I can't find his version in my iTunes anymore. Still, the split measures in 3rd line measure 4 and 4th line measure 3 can be altered.

/ F69 / % / E7 / % / G-6 / G-6 C7 / F69 Ab-6 / G-6 C7 /

/ F69 / % / E7 / % / G-6 / G-6 C7 / A7 / % /

/ D9 / % / G7 / C7 Abdim / F with A Bass / Ab-6 / G-6 / C7 /

/ F69 / % / Ab7 D7 / D7 / G7 / C7 / F with A Bass Ab-6 / G-6 C7 /

Thanks so much! We had rehearsal tonight and worked a version out that was based on Fapy's. I'll see how your's and our's compare. We also worked up a chart for "Spirit", so I'll try to share that as soon as I get a clean copy made.

Thanks again for the help!
