Little sunflower (bossa 130bpm) - Backing Track

[@larrypower8659]

The first chord sounds like a Dm7, but then it kind of moves back and forth between a D7sus2, a D7sus4, and the Dm7. The beauty of this song is when it goes to EbMA7 x4, then back a half step to a DMA7 x4, and repeats. Those two chords just open up so many melodic possibilities. An improvisational delight. In the late ‘70s-early ‘80s I was in a band that opened every gig with this. It’s not something you’d equate with a rock band, but we loved playing it be- cause of the groove and it gave us a chance to just play, to get out of the box we normally occupied. People would always ask about it. Wow, great memories of the gigging life. I haven’t thought about this tune in probably, oh, at least 30 years. It’s an awesome jam number for players who are willing to stretch and go deep.

Listen to Vinicius de Moraes with Toquinho ...

I learned jazz improv in the 70s, so these kinds of modal, bossa groove tunes are my comfort zone. I have to work really hard at bebop.

Glowing like a sun / warming everyone Will you walk with me? Rain and winter snow / only help you grow Won't you walk with me? More and more each hour / like a precious little flower More and more each hour / like a precious little flower Dewy morning dawn / pretty petals yawn As you turn to me Say it - we will grow / like a flower grows Ever heavenly Now delight the sky / let help fragrance fly Sweeter be the wind Warmer is the spring / when you dance and sing It is spring again Dance for april showers Like a precious little flower More and more each hour Like a precious little flower Glowing like a sun / warming everyone Will you walk with me? Rain and winter snow / come to help you grow And you walk with me.

How would you go about figuring out which mode is correct?

[@bignamimusic]

the C section is repeated just like the A section

[@gerritlindeboom4126]

WoW yea

[@jimlal1467]

I am recording my daughters lead over this. You backing track is so beautiful! My wife is from Paris, and she loves “Samba Saravah” by Pierre Barouh. Do you have a backing track for this? I did subscribe to your patreon site.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Hi Jim, thanks a lot !! Oh that's really cool, I know that song, and I know the work of Pierre Barouh and his passion for Brasil (that I have too) but unfortunately I don't have the backing track of that song, sorry.

[@jimlal1467]

I just joined your Patreon site and joined. but in the download, little sunflower is not included? how can I get that mp4?

[@guitareimprovisation]

Hi ! You chose the 5$ tier, which includes backing tracks of my Chord Melody tunes. If you want to have access to the full archive it's the seconde tier. This audio file is in it, and little sunflower is too, yes. There are 900 files :-)

[@vennazz5880]

I cannot recommend this track because it has a wrong form

[@guitareimprovisation]

On what version did you notice that the form is different ? I took original Freddie Hubard version as a reference

[@calebnei8276]

@@guitareimprovisation You're mistaken. Check out the original. @vennazz is correct. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoulpmN3h6l6rtU You're missing the last A section.

[@calebnei8276]

@@guitareimprovisation The form is AABBAA. You've got AABBA here.

[@calebnei8276]

@@guitareimprovisation In your defense, even the original Real Book gets it wrong. So I guess that's why we have to do our own listening.

[@petermanuel6703]

or we make our own choices. To me, repeating the C doesn't make sense, feels odd.@@calebnei8276

[@cassetatele]

Salut, merci mais le deuxième A fait 16 mesures comme le premier dans la version de Freddie Hubbard !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/haWlaZd7qqqghK8

[@guitareimprovisation]

Exact ! Merci de la correction Sébastien, je modifierai ça si je refais un PB de ce morceau :-)

[@cassetatele]
