Seems the lyrics which are sung in some versions (e.g. dianna Reeves) were not in the original composition? Who made them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.153.190.130 (talk) 06:49, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

[edit]

what is a pentatonic blues?
Santamaria plays the title in D minor, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbE7jf_Hp5w
and Coltranes version is in F minor, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0Gmupp_ucY
why do you come to Bb.

[edit]

I think there are no main beats at all, it is a simple rhythm with 2 against 3 or the other way around.
Elvin Jones plays a normal jazz waltz (sub dugidu). Only McCoy Tyner often plays 2 against 3.

This is the same thing only in simpler notation.
