"So What" (Miles Davis)--opening "theme" -- comp. Miles Davis & Bill Evans (from _Kind_of_Blue_, 1959) -- guitar arr., tcg, '8?, '94 -- 4/4 // Keys: Dm; Ebm // Allegro __3__ -- eighth notes (1 &) are "swing" 8ths: closer to 1 & & . . . . DAH duh -- what follows is the opening of the tune (after some Debussy-esque ad-lib piano diddling by Evans), apparently the only pre-composed part of the song; it's a neat interplay of bluesy bass and quartal piano chords, both integrated into the following guitar "arrangement": Form (32-bar): ||: A (8 measures) - A (8) - B (8) - A (8) :|| {pick-up measure} A:: Em7/11 Dm7/11 Em7/11 Dm7/11 -----------------||----------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| -----------------||----------8==---6--|------------------|----------8==---6-| -----------------||o---------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| -----------------||o---------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| ----------5-/7---||--5==-----7==---5--|----------5-/7----|--5-------7==---5-| --3/5-7-8------8-||-------------------|--3/5-7-8------8--|----5==-----------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & Em7/11 Dm7/11 Em7/11 Dm7/11 |------------------|---------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| |------------------|---------8==---6--|------------------|----------7==---5-| |------------------|---------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| |------------------|---------7==---5--|------------------|----------7==---5-| |----------5-/7----|-5==-----7==---5--|---5/7--/7--/7-5==|==5==-----7==---5-| |--3/5-7-8------8--|------------------|------------------|------------------| 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & __________________ __________________ | 1.

The bass starts "walking," the piano comps/ ad-libs quartal-modal chord voicings, and Miles & the other horn players take leads in Dm & Ebm Dorian. (Dorian in Dm: d-e-f-g-a-b-c-d; Eb Dorian a half-step higher). . . . Here's the start of Miles' lead, to give you a better idea (note that the D dorian scale "fits" whether the chord is Dm7/11 or Em7/11: both consist of notes from this very scale)-- {pick-up} A:: -10=====-||------------------|------------------|------: ---------||------------------|------10-8----10--|------- ---------||------------------|------------------|--------- ---------||------------------|------------------|---------- ---------||------------------|------------------|-----------: 3 & 4 & 1 2 3 4 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & | --:--tcg ) |
