Badass old school minor jazz/blues tune in F minor by bebop's figurehead, Dizzy Gillespie. The intro is played solo, drums n' bass on the head. Form is AABA. 230+ bpm, I've heard it played at 300 and more! 1 2 3 4 = quarter notes dashes = 16th notes 2 notes during one number = straight 8th notes 3 notes during one number = 8th note triplets questions comments to monkeywheet@yahoo.com INTRO... 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ---------------8-13----8-12----8-11-9-10------9-7-8--------------- --------------9-------------------------------------9-----11----8- ------------10----------------------------------------10---------- --------------------------------------------------------10-------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 -------------------------------9-8-------------9-12-13-8------------9- 9-----------------9-8------8-11----11-9---8-11-----------9------8-11-- --10------------10----10-9--------------10-----------------10-9------- --------------10------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 8-------------------8-----8-----8---9-8---------- --9-------------------------------------11-9-8--- ----10--11----9-10-----------------------------9- ------10--------------10==--10==----------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- "A" Section Fm Ab Gm7b5 Bbm6 Fm Gm7b5 C7 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ------------------8-------9--------13=========---8h9p8--------------- --9-----8-11--8-9-----9-11----12-13-------------------11p9p8--------- 10----10------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fm Ab Gm7b5 Bbm6 Fm Gm7b5 C7 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 -------------------8-------9---7-8------------------------------------ --9-----8-11---8-9-----9-11------------------------------------------- 10----10---------------------------10=========---10h12p10-9-10-------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REPEAT THE "A" SECTION ONCE "B" Section Fm7 B7#9 EbMaj7 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ----------15-14-13-12-11------------------------------------------------ ------------------------13----14--12------------------------------------ 15-13---------------------13--------14-15-12----13-11-12---------------- ----------------------------15--------------13----------13-------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ebm7 Ab7#9 DbMaj7 Gm7b5 C7 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 ---------13-12-11-10-9-------------------------------8-9---8----------- -----------------------11----12--10-----------------9------------------ 13-11--------------------11--------12-13----------10---------11-------- ---------------------------13----------------------------------------10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "A" Section again.
