Scott,

I can't tell you how appreciative I am that you took the time to explain how you play the song and include the lead sheet for the song as well. I love this kind of collaboration. This is why you are such a valuable resource to this forum!

Thanks and much appreciated!

Hi Bob, yeah, I don't have that one either as that specific "Real Jazz Book" edition is only available for sale in Europe.

In the meantime, after spending some time attempting to transcribe the chords from the recording (and with some success smile ),
I was even luckier to find another fakebook that includes an accurate lead sheet (with all the correct chords).

I've attached a PDF of it and uploaded here on SZ just in case anybody else might be interested in playing this tune.
I also included a 2nd supplemental page which has the intro, chords scales (for soloing) and some bass line ideas. All useful info, especially for jazz keyboard players. cool

IMPORTANT NOTE: "Walk Between The Raindrops" is idea for playing those II-V & II-V-I rootless jazz chords I spoke on about here, as it's chock full of these progressions: (Dm7 - G7 - C6), (Am7-D7}; (Gm7-C7-FMaj). I recommend (on Tyros 4) playing this song in 'A1 Fingered mode', utilizing the "Big Band Jazz" preset style at 142bpm, as it includes walking bass, so when you play LH rootless chords (with left voice assigned to acoustic piano and of course the piano voice activated), the auto accompaniment bass style part supplies the 'root notes' in its walking bass line. I encourage members to try this out as it's a perfect example of playing LH rootless chords in auto accomp mode on a jazz tune. cool
