Funny, I just got this one called on me on a gig last Thursday and baked a multitude of clamlike creatures all over it that night. I was just practicing it 10 minutes ago, and when I took a break I find this thread. Small world, and great tune!

Thank you!

I've never had this one called on me, but I love it when TBers mention new tunes. They pique my interest, so I search for the charts, look in my collection for recordings and discover new music that I would otherwise have missed.

Life is good,

Andy

You should locate the "disc". It is a disc with all of the jazz fakebooks, like 30 or so, on one disc. I take it to gigs with my laptop, I am such a dork. I am sure someone would share it with you.

Where do I find the disc? Its the disc of a carpenter right. (someone somewhere will get it)

Ray Parker put up a post about one of the TBers sitting in on his gig and how great the guy sounded on Josephine. I went scouring through fake books, but I couldn't find any such tune. Josephine is the name of Ray's bass.

That's funny . . . my kid got taken with the tune and transcribed it off the original recording, Chick's My Spanish Heart. Then we compared it to the official Chick-approved version is published in Volume 2 of the Chick Corea Songbooks.

The version on "The Fakebook Disc" blows. It lacks the ultra-essential bass part and, IMR, the interlude for the solos.

I'm assuming Armando is Cal Tjaders wonderful conga player Armando Perazza...no?

I agree. I will have to pick up the corea book you linked. Hope all is well. -Zach

Hey Dono.....there's actually an old corn ball tune called Josephine. I think Lawrence Welk used to use it as his theme song.

It's in the Sher "The Latin Book" (p.61). There's a great version played by Patrice Caratini on the DVD "Stephane Grappelli in New Orleans".

I think that "Armando" might refer to Chick Corea (real name Armando Anthony Corea); although his father is also called Armando.

I'm quite sure this was meant for his father.

love that tune!

There's a wonderful recording of it by Chick and Gary Burton on a duet CD - Native Sense: The New Duets.
That CD is an example of musicianship at its ultimate.

Another great version by the Rosenberg Trio on the 85th Birthday concert for Stephane Grappelli.-z
