Skylark - Jazz Standard Lesson

Here’s my latest jazz standard tutorial.

I’ve covered the tune “Skylark” by Hoagy Carmichael.

The full lesson page is here:

I’ve uploaded a separate performance for those who just want a quick listen to the arrangement:

Love the sound of this arrangement, Hayden. Looking forward to studying the download. Brian.

Awesome… Thanks for letting me know Brian.

The transcription was a little fiddly to put together, but I happy with how it’s looking.

Some of my arrangements can be notated perfectly, whilst others just don’t seem to translate well onto paper :smile:

If you think any parts should be tweaked, or could be clearer to read and interpret, just let me know and I will look into it.

Great - you have a knack of picking my favourite tunes Hayden!

Here’s Gretchen Parlato’s version - we’ve seen her three times in LA, New York, and Vermont and she’s one of our longtime favourites among the current generation of singers:
