Harmonically, this is what I come up with:<br /> <br />| D7 G7 | Db7 Bb7 |<br /><br />This reading has chords in common with the Old Real Book (D7 to Db7 reduction), Hal Leonard (D13 to G9 for bar 9), and finally the Bb7 resolution of Jimmy Rowles. <br /><br />Functionally: II7 - V7 - TTsub of V7 - bVII7<br /><br />Although, not actually represented this way in any one fakebook/source, this sequence is consistent with the melody and with harmonic theory. Finally, when I play it this way, it sounds pretty good.<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Tom SimpsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
