Double Bass Ron Carter/Footprints, what's going on during turnaround??

[lsabina]

Dave Holland gave me a Footprints lead sheet once--said he got those 9th and 10th measure changes "from Miles himself." Of course I lost that lead sheet!

If you have the "Real Book" changes, they are wrong.

Glad you have 'better' info, now.

Some very good bass work on those changes.

Depends what "Real Book" ur reading from. Also what version u have. When someone calls "Footprints" and they play the D7 to Db7 turnaround, you know they've never actually listened to the tune and r just reading from the Real Book. When I first starting learning jazz I was guilty of just reading a tune from the Real Book. It wasn't till I started playing with certain people and they would make all these changes to the real book chords. Thats when i really made a point to listen to as much as i could- of course you can't learn every tune- but u can learn a lot. My first real awareness of Real Book mistakes was with "Dolphin Dance" where at the end of tune Ron Carter plays an E pedal to Eb pedal...yet the real book says B to Bb!! However, the RealBook Volume 6 has more accurate changes.

I have Vol. 1.

All I can tell you is that it was in a dark alley that someone gave it to me. Maybe '73?
