I'm desperate for some assistance on the the bridge of Benny Carters' song, When Lights Are Low.
Can anyone send me the chords to the bridge? (for guitar- Key of F please, but will take another key) I already have the Miles Davis arrangement, so it has to be Benny's original chart. I would greatly appreciate your help. Regards, Geno |

Here is a link that might work for you, looks like its in Eb so you'll have to take everything up one step to get in F. Let me know if you need help transposing, I can do that.
Also, let me know if this isn't what you are looking for, I found other resources too. |

I've seen that before ( and all sorts on the internet) and I tried to look inside as they say you can, even tried downloading "scorch", or whatever they say you need to see it, but still couldn't get to see any part of the bridge. So I don't know if it has Benny's original bridge or not.
I have a few recordings of the song but I'm having difficulty hearing the changes. Thanks for your quick response. I appreciate your time. Geno |

Nope, the first one doesn't have the song and the second one, the site is no longer on the net.

Bummer, that was a good site, probably got in trouble for copyrite violation.
I have to step out for a bit now, I'll do more looking later, but this appears to be a difficult find. You might want to try listing your request in the musician section of New York City's Craig's List. Hold on and I will get you a link.

That last one did it! I found a site that I actually saw before and there it was.
Thanks so much for all your time and effort. You must be retired like me to have the time to do this. Regards, Geno |

Do you play? Are you a musician?

Yeah, I play keyboards, I'm more in the jazzy/RnB realm than pure jazz. I work on playing standards at home and with friends, and will occasionally play things like that in public, but I'm not in the same class as the real hardcore boppers. I keep working on it, meanwhile I do pro gigs in RnB, funk, fusion, blues etc.

Obviously I own a guitar, and I mostly play by myself with backing tracks. They're great. Always on time and never make a mistake. I try to get together with my grandson, who passed me a long time ago. But he occasionally humors me and makes the effort.
By the way, that chart was in the key I wanted. Thanks again, Geno |

I noticed it was in F, that was cool.
By the way, if you ever feel like writing reviews or know someone who wants to, please go ahead, our site gets a lot of fusion reviews while other genres are not getting the attention they deserve. Even if you don't want to review, feel free to rate some records, its quick and easy, our older jazz styles need more ratings and reviews. Right now I'm just about the only person on the site who can review pre-50s jazz, or even pre-60s sometimes. Also, tell any jazz loving freinds or relatives about us if you want.

Let me look into that. I love Jazz but I concentrate on guitar. I'll check out you review section and see if I can do it.

If the reviews look difficult, you can always click on the stars under the albums and rate them, that part is easy, but all the same, don't feel obligated.
Cheers my friend.
