Vals från Vargön, jazz version

[Toomas Rannu]

The reason why I’m posting this jazz version here, is because of the folk version of the same tune I posted about month ago, so you can compare with it.
Making tab (PDF) is a little complicated. I have not decided yet how particular it has to be, but I’m working on it and may be some times later.

My special thanks to Niles Hokkanen for pointing out the right thing and for some ideas what lead me to the creation of this version. Thank you Niles!

Interesting improvisation phrases here, Toomas. I enjoyed your scale runs mixed with the chordal phrasing. Quite different from your non-jazz version.

Thank you, John! That's a good melody for improvisation and when the thing is right, everything else comes after.
