'A Sleepin' Bee' (Harold Arlen) - Solo Jazz piano lesson

'A Sleepin' Bee' (Harold Arlen) - Solo Jazz piano lesson.
This was one of the standards that Bill Evans played and recorded - there have been later solo piano recordings by, among others, Andre Previn. There is a leadsheet on page 322 of Sher Music's 'New Real Book' Volume 1. This was improvised from the leadsheet and recorded as a midi file - and the transcription was derived from this midi file. The computer program used was 'PowerTracks Pro Audio' which will automatically take a piano midi file and split it into bass and treble clefs. This has to be edited and corrected fairly heavily, but it certainly makes the job easier! The comments/annotations were added later.
The printable transcription as a pdf file is on my DVD (140 plus transcriptions and over 9 hours of instructional video for $25 - go to http://www.bushgrafts.com for details
