Lush Life - Billy Strayhorn

[engelbach]

Here is Coltrane's version, in The New Real Book One from Chuck Sher.

This is identical to the version in the Jazz 1300 Standards collection, but with the chord extensions shown, the double-time solos indicated, and the ending where it belongs instead of after the turnaround.

Note: There is not a barline missing in the fifth measure from the end. I stretched the measure out so the alt chords would not be scrunched up.

Also, I divided the 4/4 measure before the turnaround into two 2/4 measures so the FINE would end in the right place.

Ideally, the Verse should be played rubato, impossible in iReal Pro, of course. One solution is to delete the Verse and play it without accompaniment, then start iReal Pro for the choruses.
