Here is a gorgeous Jazz Ballad. The tempo is quite slow and deceptively simple sounding. There are a myriad of changes in this:
GM7 A13 Am9 GM7 Bm7 CM7 A13 % GM7 EbM7 GM7/D
(BbM7 C/Bb)x2 FM7 % Dm7 % (Gm7 Dm7sus4)x2 (Bm
GM7 A13 Am9 GM7 Bm7 CM7 A13 % GM9 (Em7 A7) D
It's basically all around Concert G Major 7 which is AM7 for soprano and tenor, and EM7 for sopranino, alto and baritone. This is a very tough challenge that has nothing to do with technical ability as it's all at a very relaxed pace. You are sharing the melodic solo with the piano weaving your lines with his. This requires extreme sensitivity to the piano's lines and not stepping on them as you weave your way through all those changes. 1st track with sax, 2nd is without.
A very tough yet very satisfying track...best of luck!
