Dinah turnaround

plankity

Apologies if this has been covered before: there is this cool, slightly "out" turnaround that DR and his disciples play in between the first two A sections. On Jazz a Vienne, it happens during the first chorus of Weiss' improv and once more somewhere else in the tune... my ear hears it as (key of G) Bb7/Eb7/Ab7/Db7 to a quick D7.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

TIA,

Hi Norm,

It sounds like you might mean this kind of thing?

...F9...Bb6....Eb9...Ab6...
(in G)

The rhythm is a little weird-it starts on the third beat of the fifteenth bar or somewhere around there (if this is even what you're asking for-I'm at work so don't have ...Vienne handy.)

Hope that helps,
Jack.

That turn around and all it's variations are in the Gypsy Rhythm book.

I call it "Django Changes"...he had some cool ways of using that.

Thanks guys!

That's it: now for the subtle nuanced five year incubation...

Yeah-I've been trying to sneak them in other places too...right now I'm using it as a long out (extending the V-I series) on Viper's Dream:

G7 |C7 |F6..F7..Bb6..Eb7|..Ab6..Db7..Gb6..C7|F6maj7 |
or my other current favorite-stealing the opening of Place de Brouckere and using that as the tag...

best,
Jack.
