Can we discuss Pent Up House for a second? In regards to playing this tune, a guy teaching it whose opinion I respect has said that he's always played this Sonny Rollins tune with the "blowing changes", as listed in a couple of Real Books, which are Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - - Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - - Dm7 - G7 - Cm7 - F7 - Am7 - D7 - GMaj7 - -
However, the changes over the melody seem to be CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 - -
CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - CMaj7/D - D7(b9,#5) - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 -
Dm7 - G7(b9, #5) - Cm9 - F13 - Dm7 - G7(b9, #5) - Cm9 - F13 - GMaj9 - Ab9 - GMaj9 - -
I can see that both sets of changes are similar, but it sounds to me like Rollins sticks to the posted changes. I haven't heard much of other versions of the tune. Is it standard procedure to the more vanilla "blowing changes" for the whole tune? Anyone else do this?
