Gary Yeah Gary, it's a lovely tune. It's a song that I don't even like to improvise on because the melody is so beautiful, I love to play it. Also it's a great vocal tune, but maybe a bit tricky to sing. Anyone here sing "Wave"? _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

I find the song doesn't 'lay' right for me on keyboard ... the fingering seemed to flow better when I played it on the Cordovox ... horizontal vs. vertical ?!? ...

I play Wave in D, but have also played it in G and C. It is a bit award but I guess I got used to it... It just a matter of working out fingering, and when to the thumb crosses over. Yes, we closed the website.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Paul, I just got home from physical therapy, my back is killing me, I took an M&M (Margaretta and Morphine) so there may be some slurring in my speech. Now, for some strange reason, I've never been able to get people off their arses to dance to any Bossa song that I perform using a great Bossa Nova style, either third party of from the keyboard. I never understood that. However, when I perform the same song using a Rumba style, the dance floor mysteriously fills with dancers. Not sure why this happens. Anyway, here's my rendition of The Wave mistakes and all. And, obviously, I do not play it in the Jobin chords, because it's out of my vocal range.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Donny, thanks for the kudos, and I know that there should be some more minors in there. At this stage, though, I'm not gonna take the time to add them into the rendition. My playing days are very, very limited at this point, and after the end of the year, I'm pretty much out of the game altogether. The pain is such in my back that after a couple hours playing I cannot function well at all. Those M&Ms can really F-up your motor skills and mind, but they sure help alleviate the pain. Thanks for listening, and don't let Boo know I posted this, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

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 ... I will probably lay down a backing track first and use it while learning the melody line ... 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 ... _________________________ t.

montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3230 Loc: Dallas, Texas	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. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

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! _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache
