Looks good to me. It's funny, though; I always think of it as AABA, with two A endings...it's interesting how people hear things like this-I had something similar recently with a bandmate when we were learning Esprit; he was hearing the B section as a repeated 8 bar section, and I was hearing it as one 16 bar section. He called it as AABB, and it took us a minute to figure out why we kept screwing up...
I'm still trying to figure out the melody. It's a great tune. I dont usually write things out, I just tend to figure the basic melody out by ear and then take it from there. The begining is very reminiscent of the head to Russian Lullaby.
When the tune moves to the Gm chord, you run a Gm lick which quickly turns into a diminished run. Not very technical or clear explanation I know, but I can show you what I've got so far, next time we jam...who knows, by that time you will have figuered it out yourself and you can show me!
