    Default What The World Needs Now - Burt Bacharach-Hal David

    Here's my version, from Chuck Sher's Standards Real Book. I've also added a few passing bass notes.

    What The World Needs Now-Rev JE - Burt Bacharach

    Cheers,
    Jer

    P.S. Posted in the Jazz section because it's an excellent improvisation vehicle.

    What The World Needs Now - Bacharach/D. Hazeltine
    David Hazeltine's arrangement (close to it anyway). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhECm_uiqyQ The diminished chords in letter B are to be played with major 7ths.

    Don't post a playlist as the songs in a Realbook if the changes aren't from the book.
    If you do transcribe changes from a book put it in the title RB1, RB2, GGB, Sher, etc

    That version sounds pretty much like the original.

    Yes with a few bars added at the end. Also the V7 of vi going into the bridge seems to be absent on the solo.
