This is another classic Jazz track, Charlie Parker’s Confirmation. Here’s a classic version online.
Writing up the chord sequence, we have…
||FMaj7 |Em7b5 A7 |Dm7 G7 |Cm7 F7 | Bb7 |Am7 D7 |G7#11 |Gm7 C7 | FMaj7 |Em7b5 A7 |Dm7 G7 |Cm7 F7 | Bb7 |Am7 D7 |Gm7 C7 |FMaj7 | Cm7 |F7 |BbMaj7 | | Ebm7 |Ab7 |DbMaj7 |G7 C7 | FMaj7 |Em7b5 A7 |Dm7 G7 |Cm7 F7 | Bb7 |Am7 D7 |Gm7 C7 |FMaj7 ||
With a little perseverance, I’m sure you can find the sheet music for the Head online.
So here’s my backing track. There’s a 4 beat count in going straight into the head. The track then plays around the sequence above 8 times.
By the way, there’s a great book available with Charlie Parker’s solos tabbed out and voiced for the guitarist. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to understand this music more fully.
Let me know how you get on, and Enjoy!
