  • What are the chords to the bridge? Thanks I can't figure it out?

  • That's easy, Lawnmusicguy: The leading melody notes to the bridge are: D Eb F G, (with a Cm7 chord on that G note), then: F9+5, Bbmaj7, D7+9, Gm7, Bb7, Eb, Eb+5, Eb6, Am7(Add4), Eb9, D7+9. Play the D7+9 chord as (F# C D F) in both cases, and also double-up in the bass for the 5th, sharped 5th (or +5) and 6th during the Eb, Eb+5, Eb6 sequence. Eb+5 is the same as (or enharmonic to) Eb Augmented, or Eb+. I may do a video of Simpson's Java Jazz Fest 2006 Live version which has some extra improvs.

  • Thankyou. I listened to it several times but couldn't put the chords together.

  • Ok, I can get your not being able to hear the exact chord structure (by ear) on your own, but what you need to do is to start with the bass notes during this bridge section: C > F > Bb - D - G - Bb - Eb > Eb > A > Eb > D > D, then back to the home bass of G, returning to the verse again. In that string, the chords in-between the ">" marks are counted for 4 beats, and the chords in-between the "-" marks are counted for 2 beats. If you get the bass notes down, then apply the basic maj+min chords.

  • I usually start figuring-out chord structures by listening to the bass line first. Then determine if the chord is major or minor. Then explore the chord extensions: 6ths, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, #5ths (augmented), flatted-5ths (diminished), sus4's, sus9's, add9's, etc.

  • I think you will have to listen to it more than just a few or several times to get this down. Many jazz songs don't have sheet music, so you do have to listen to it many times and practice as you listen. By the way, this is not the hardest jazz song to learn by comparison to many others.
