Soul Stream Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) hey, can anybody help me out on the last couple of measures of the bridge of I Want To Talk About You. I'm listening to Trane's version on Soultrane. I'm fuzzy about what's happening between C major and the B flat dominant chord that ends the bridge. thanks for any help you can give me....

JSngry Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 You can also put an Fm7 in front of the Bb7, obviously, but most people just keep the Bb7 and alter it every which way. Quote
Soul Stream Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Posted April 9, 2007 Thanks Jim.... I had to play it last night on a gig. Having heard it but not played it before, when it came to the bridge I did end up making a Dm/Galt change to the Bflat, but I wasn't sure about it. Listening to the beginning of Trane's version on Soultrane this morning, I still couldn't really tell until I got to the 5:00 minute mark or so that I could clearly hear it. Thanks for the help Jim! Beautiful tune. Quote
JSngry Posted April 9, 2007 Report Posted April 9, 2007 You're welcome. Beautiful tune indeed. Only problem is that you gotta remember it's not "Misty". Quote
Soul Stream Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Posted April 9, 2007 You're welcome. Beautiful tune indeed. Only problem is that you gotta remember it's not "Misty". Like the trumpeter Martin Banks once told me about tunes in general.... They're all the same more or less...they just have different bridges. Quote
Soul Stream Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Posted April 9, 2007 Funny, I was just digging through my vinyl to find something different to listen to, and pulled out a Muse LP I hadn't listened to in a long time called "Brooklyn Brothers" by Cecil Payne and Duke Jordan (with Sam Jones and Al Foster). I put it on and what's the second song I hear....a killer version of "I Want To Talk About You!" The liner notes talk about how Tony Williams gave Cecil Payne some Billy Eckstine airchecks to listen to and that's how Cecil came across the song again. Said it was his favorite ballad to play these days (recorded in 1973). Pretty cool... Quote
DukeCity Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 You're welcome. Beautiful tune indeed. Only problem is that you gotta remember it's not "Misty". ...or "The Nearness of You." Quote
