Stomping At The Savoy, key?

Steveareno

Looks like everyone plays this in a different key. I'm having some luck with A, but seems like G and Db are also popular. What do you cats find is the best key? Any tips for finding a good simple arrangement (can't find a grille) online?

This should do the job :

The most common key is Db, but you see often in F, not as much in G.
Charlie Christian plays it in Db.

Db is the key i learned it in, and on a couple old recordings i have of it its in Db.

Thanks guys, yeah Db seems to be the popular choice, but on YouTube guys are also playing in G, A and Ab (some on ukulele). Thanks Joli Gadjo. Nice arrangement in F (one b in the key signature = F, right?). I stumbled thru the signature lick in A and will try to transpose. One of these keys is gonna lay out best on the fretboard for me. I really like this tune.

On the right side of the webpage in wikifonia, you are able to change the key as you want : 5b would make it in Db.

Thanks Joli Gadjo, that's amazing! This darn internet is a mind blower. Now I've got it in F, Db and A. These charts make more sense than the others I've found. I'll play around with these for the next few days, weeks, years.

The nice feature with wikifonia, is that you can export the files as musicxml, which you can open with standard music editor software like Finale or Sibellius, or even edit them online with noteflight.com.

Turns out Db lays out really well. I was playing it in D before (thinking I was in A). Just had to drop my fingering down one fret and voila. Funny how those charts list Fb (instead of E) and Cb (instead of ...I guess that's how the automatic transposing feature works...or that's how it's written for Db? Thanks again for the suggestions and link.
