Re: Paradisemusictn and Moonlight in Vermont


 

My favorite version of this song is the 1959 Downbeat Magazine
jazz album of the year version by Johnnie Smith and Stan Getz. Johnnie's
trademark sound is the use of what I believe are called chromatic chords. They
are typically stretch chords that can be quite challenging to the tendons when
initially used. eg. I dont really know how to notate like this but here is
an attempt key E flat----first two bars

E flat 6th E flat 6/9 Eflat maj 9 Eflat 6/9 Fmi9 B flat 13 alt

I thought this was kind of fun when I first noticed it
Hope it helps
