[Leo-yxyc]

I love how she quotes Ornithology at 2:02 ! amazing

[pauls.]

Amazing that you were able to write this incredible improv so precisely, and even got all the enharmonic accidentals correct! That’s a lot of hard work, bravo. Around 4:10 the words are « I guess I better quit while I’m ahead »….otherwise, you nailed it!

How High The Moon Lyrics
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no love
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
How high the moon
Is the name of this song
How high the moon
Though the words may be wrong
We're singing it
Because you ask for it
So we're swinging it just for you

How high the moon
Does it touch the stars
How high the moon
Does it reach up to Mars
Though the words may be wrong
To this song
We're asking how high, high, high
High, high is the moon

Ella Fitzgerald solo transcription - How High The Moon
Scat solo

[tojasszinhaz]

Kezit csókolom annak, aki ezt lekottázta..! :)

[markhedman]

Thanks. The question is: How did she do this? I am following along with the transcription. She is often improvising around the chord notes, but other times she moves a pattern up or down sequentially. Or repeats one note, like the Bflat. I am inclined to think that she learned how to do this by osmosis, picking it up from working day after day with jazz instrumentalists.

[santiagoruedagarcia]
