[QUOTE="lydian, post: 500481, member: 8392"] EDIT: I see what you mean. Julie London version is listed as G major. However, you can play a sample right there on the site before you buy and know for sure whether it will work with your written score. When I play the sample, it's in Em, just like the Diana Krall version you linked earlier. I'm still failing to see where the problem is. Is it just that you don't have internet access in the caravan and can't listen to the sample when you have your horn with you? Also, I'm not calling you a robot. I'm saying a computer program that runs such a site isn't going to know anything except the key signature, hence miss the difference between major and minor as it did in the two versions we're discussing. EDIT2: You may ask how do I know what key the recording is in. If I look at any lead sheet for this tune, the first chord matches the key (not true in all cases but true in this one). So I listen to what the bass is playing (E), then listen to the notes in the guitar chord (I hear minor then pick out what other notes I can to confirm an Em chord).
