Bill Evans tribute 'My Foolish Heart' with Stravinsky ending

Winter View from my 'new' backyard in Alta Gracia at 8 am

Recently I have been enjoying transcribing again (after 20years)
the chords of “My Foolish Heart” by Bill Evans (live at the village vanguard version.)
There is so much deepness and beauty in this recording.
I have been very inspired as I love the intense subtlety of Bill's
playing - he has left us so much beauty.

Long have I been fascinated and obsessed by the notes improvisors
choose. The relationships between the melody and the chords.
(Also by the myriad of different sounds inside the ‘voice’ of the saxophone)

The version I recorded here includes some of the voicings I heard in the recording ( disclaimer, they might not be 100% what Bill played-
they are what my non genius ear could discern!)
I have added other chords, as well a stunning coda taken form
the Bill Evans Tony Bennett album.

I don't know why, but I was inspired to play a pet phrase
from Stravinksy's "the rite of Spring at the end"

The chords have been put on screen for anyone interested to see
what was played.
The sheet music is included inside this bundle:

Thank you That is great. I have so much admiration for people who can figure out those extended chords. I have watched several of your vids now. and they are all excellent.

[RafitasGamer]

very nice chord ideas, gave me many new chords for my collection on the guitar!

[dushdy]

Wonderful! I wish there was more synth in jazz sometimes, and I'd love more about Bill Evans. Your Videos about Stevie Wonder are just amazingly insightful!
Please, keep your passion :)

[pianorikardhallberg]

This is SO good, holy shit. I never realized how good synths can sound.

[eeecol]

I love it! Would love to see some videos dissecting Evans' general approach to chord voicings

Beuatiful! My second favourite Victor Young tune!

[jabo]

Reminds me of something that would come out from Cowboy Bebop's OST. Love it!

[ManinEduStudio]

What a awesome cadence! Is that you made?

[evansakesat]

Thanks for this! I’m not quite sure what’s happening here though...have you taken the isolated original saxophone track and added your own harmonisation? My ears are also struggling to fully understand the chord movement subtleties...if you can find time to do an analysis video that would be helpful and wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Why in the key if E? Is my guitar tuned wrong? 😄
