My arrangement of Whisper Not follows the form of the original.

The Head is played with a 2/4 feel in a broken rhythm. The Solos are in swing 4/4. After the Solos, the first half of the Head is played as a Shout chorus in straight 4/4, followed by the second half of the Head in 2/4.

This chart is adjusted to fit the live version from 1961 by the Oscar Peterson trio. I have removed the last Bb7 at the end of the repeated first 8 bars. I've also changed bar 7 of the A sections to DM7 AM7 which sounds right to me for this version. Whisper Not (O.P. Live Version) - Benny Golson
