Lead sheet for Webster in Eb wanted
guit-box
✭✭
Can someone help me locate a lead sheet for Webster in original key of Eb?
Comments
Nice, thx. I really like how it sounds in Eb, are people usually playing it in D? Either way, just forced myself to (finally) memorize the head so appreciate the inadvertent motivation from OP and Wim.
I think I never played it other than Eb.
I second what Buco said.
Awesome, thanks! that's just what I need. I like how the Djangologists play the melody in octaves.
Jimmy played in D, if you were looking fo a version.
Bump.
So quick question, in the chart Wim posted, we see an E7th in the 4th measure but is this actually correct? Question arose last weekend, had a duet jam with Gian and he said that a B7 is what most players actually play in the 4th measure, or at least in his (extensive) experience. Personally, I got really used to the E7 and love the way it sounds but obviously I'd also prefer to train/retrain my ears to hear the B7 instead if that's the actual chord.
Quickly listening to the recording, I feel like the piano player is hitting like an E hendrix chord to E7b9 or something, perhaps with a B in the bass instead an E (hopefully the chord experts on here can translate whatever that's supposed to mean lol).
Try it in d#, game changer.
Oh yeah, I didn't notice that, I always played B7 there. I just gave it a quick listen, seems like the bass is playing a B there.
I believe the E7 is correct - I checked the Django 100 book and that has it as an E7 and it makes sense harmonically as a 251 tune (apparently based on Coquette) with a tritone sub for the Bb (which is E7). I just slowed the Rome recording down and played along and I think that's right. I guess at some point someone (maybe the Rosenberg trio?) decided on a B7 instead!
The chart above seems to be taken from the Django 100 book as the text paraphrases it - but that doesn't explain the awkward notation of a d flat note and a c sharp in that bar (Django 100 just notes both as c sharp).
