artist: joe zawinul with the cannonball adderly quintet
album: mercy, mercy, ... (live from ?????)
arranged by ritchie ploder, graz - austria april 2001
email: funkhead@lion.cc

arranged for fingerstyle, let the notes ring, bass-line in half-notes
(with some exeptions), u might miss some "/" and "^" signs but i had
leave them out in some places to keep it all rhythmical correct, "*" means
octave playing of the note below the "*", maybe the melodie is not as
correct as in the real-books... i just tried to get the whole music (as
i heard and understood it) in this arrangement and i could play it with
the record, though some notes are things i came up with - i put them in
were the music allowed it (anyway it´s jazz - improvise!). for form and
harmonies listen to the record and take a look in your real book (in case
u don´t have one - i guess it´t a kind of blues in Bb6)
