Carnival / Black Orpheus - Jazz piano

A much better quality video is at http:web.newsguy.com/dougmck
along with a PDF file of the Transcription and the midi file (if you want to try to do this yourself!).
I took a midi file I had created, IMPORTED it into 'Band in a Box' as a midi file.
The notation and piano views were captured using a screen capture program.
The leadsheet in this key is in the old Real Book Page 49 as 'Black Orpheus'
With this I wanted to get that loose sort of latin feel, with the bass and drums playing more freely than the typical repeating 2 bar pattern on drums, or the constant and predictable root and 5th style on bass.
If you have a fast connection and want to see this in high quality video to see the notes clearly(and the audio in stereo), add the letters &fmt=18 straight after the existing internet address line above.

at 4:20 the text says the notes in the ascending melodic minor are ABCDEFG#A

that's incorrect, that's the harmonic minor

ascending melodic minor would have an F#
