Well, I have to say, all this discussion about "WAVE" got me to get the lead sheet and start to learn it ... shouldn't take more than a year or two frown ... I will probably lay down a backing track first and use it while learning the melody line ... keys

BTW, I first went to the Wikiphonia songs that were made available to us a while back ... I don't know who did this one but it is not correct, so I went to the 'Real Book' which I should have done in the first place ...
I know boo will be glad to hear that ... grin

Hi Gary, thanks for recording your version of Wave. You're right- the rumba style makes it much better for dancers. As far as Jobim's chord changes being out of your vocal range, could I kindly suggest you simply transpose them - use the transpose bottom if you have to. Wave must be pretty difficult to sing and maybe someday I'll take a stab at it too.

Thanks noticing those quotes Tony. I often quote Girl From Ipanema and One Note Samba. Also I've stolen several bits from Jobim's piano solo on the original recording. I love his piano playing and actually transcribed a few of his solos.

You're right- those wiki phonia chords are wack. Go with the Real Book changes!
