BOTM BOTM Feb 2019 - You’Ve Changed

If I may (the more the merrier?) This is a nice recording, I like the way they all look like they're having a great time. Nice harmonica, too.

I've used Nat King Cole as a reference when I need to learn a melody, and this is nice. I always feel he 'spains the spirit of the tune very well.
 
And here is a wonderful version by the great Tommy Smith with Brian Kellock at the pianoforte.
What a sound !
Rhys

I note in passing that he plays the first A section in the high register and the second in the low. It's something I thought about in various ballads and dismissed, thinking it better to go low to high. He made it work. Yet another life lesson from a great player!
 
I have been working on this and am puzzled about the first chord in the A section. The dots for MuseScore, for tenor, show it as Fo7. But the BIAB file shows it as FMaj7b5. Can anyone tell me which is correct?

Related: my imperfect knowledge of theory says the chord notes would be

Fo7: F Ab B D
FMaj7b5: F A B E

Thanks!

Well spotted!

The notes are right and the BIAB file is wrong.
The BIAB chord should be Fm7b5 , not Fmaj7b5

Oddly enough, the backing track chord is correct, so the SGU file was correct, and then somehow it got changed.
My fault. Many apologies.

This means that the sax is playing E while the backing is playing a chord with an F and an Eb.
It seems like an odd dissonance, but that's how it was in the version I found.

Here is a new version of the BIAB file.
Corrected BIAB File
