pete.young Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Dude seems to be looking for the dots for 'Song for my Father' originally by the Horace Silver Quintet, 1965 . There's an arrangement here which includes a bass part. https://musescore.com/user/31455399/scores/5487708 This appears to be in F minor though, so I'm not sure what the 'Eb' comment is about. Quote
Happy Jack Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Ha, great spot @pete.young ... I had no idea that song even existed. Quote
Staggering on Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) We do it in A flat, the tenor player likes it there. First chord in the melody is Fm 9. Good song. In the Real Book Sixth Edition it is in A flat. Edited October 17, 2020 by Staggering on 1 Quote

In the Real Book Sixth Edition it is in A flat. Song for my father is in F minor. A la the first chord. It’s definitely not a tune in a major key. Ab major and F minor are related keys so have the same key signature (4 flats). Quote

Ab major and F minor are related keys so have the same key signature (4 flats). Right you are, the Fm being the relative minor to A flat, same key signature of course. I was just referring to the key signature when I took a quick look at the chart but the song itself is in a minor key, I will try to be more clear next time, your post says what I should have said originally. When we play it we use a vamp over Gm7 as an intro to lead into the melody and that adds to the fun. Edited October 18, 2020 by Staggering on Quote

doublebass3319 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Posted October 18, 2020 THANK YOU MUSIC FROM HORCE SILVER SONG FOR MY FATHER I HEARD RON CARTER DO IT Quote
DaveFry Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 0:33 may help . Just root and fifth on each chord . If you need assistance to shift it all down a tone to Eb minor then JUST SHOUT . 1 Quote
JimmyN2 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 We use the Real books and/or iReal Pro in our music but I tend to play the root to 5th for each chord in this song - a little like a Steely Dan’s intro to ‘Ricky don’t lose that number’ - with a little variation around and it seems to work fine. As has been said by others above. Quote

Indeed, but I think that in this case the other instrumentation etc are also pretty close to Song For My Father so it sounds to me a bit closer than just a general 'style' thing Edited October 21, 2020 by tinyd 1 Quote
