piano and acoustic guitar
transcribed by evan c. parker

leslie part sounds great, and the piano sounds better than an
acoustic (cheap imitation) but the acoustic is still playable if you
don't have a grand piano handy...  for the second part, only the
chords are given, as piano is difficult to transcribe through email.
a jazz pianist shouldn't have a hard time and playing the second part
as a second guitarist is very easy time.  good luck.

(thanks bryson for your earlier posting that i piggy backed off of...)
