pete.young Posted October 17, 2020 Share 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.

Staggering on Posted October 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). 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.

DaveFry Posted October 19, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyN2 Posted October 19, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
