Stefanglatt,

Just a word of caution. Unfortunately, some of the changes to Speak No Evil in the old Real Book One are incorrect.

The publishers of that book apparently "normalized" the changes to bars 9-10 to conform to a conventional circle of fifths pattern, as Em - A7 - Dm - G7.

But the correct changes can be found in Chuck Sher's New Real Book One, in my chart above, and in the iReal Pro Jazz 1300 Standards collection: Em - Cm - Dm - Bbm.

We can always count on Wayne Shorter to break with convention ...

Cheers,
Jer

Thanks Jer,
I really appreciate your choice to use "conventional" and "normalized" rather than *incorrect* or *wrong*.

Jazz is often defined by playing *different* changes than may be expected.
Everyone has their own ears and is entitled to their own preferences in musical expression.

Your submissions are always worthwhile.

Thanks, Bob.

Perhaps instead of saying "incorrect" I should have said "not the changes Wayne Shorter plays."

The makers of the old illegal Real Books did take liberties with the changes to a number of songs. There's no way to know if they deliberately did it to be creative, or just made mistakes in transcribing from recordings.

Cheers,
Jer
