Arrangements and Reharmonizations

Now that I've been arranging and reharmonizing jazz standards for about 10 years I've decided to make some available online. I have had good feedback for my work, and have also included many of my pieces in recent albums. 

For now I will be including only the IREAL Pro chord sheet. If you are interested in more, do mail me. I can provide PDFs, a lead sheet and recording. Small donations are most welcome of course.

Here is one of my latest works. Lucky Southern by Keith Jarrett. As with most of my pieces I like to take the edge out of chords by employing a lot of Minor 11, SUS and Major 7th sounds. 

There are no changes in the melody so it can be played as is. I do however tend to play it in an open even 8ths feel rather than a Latin jazz groove.


Feedback is most welcome.
