Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner - Non Classical Can't figure out a chord in a Fred Hersch transcription

My tuner introduced me to the beautiful playing of Fred Hersch for whom I'm guessing he tunes. I was particularly taken with Hersch's performance of I'll Be Seeing You as played in the link below and decided to learn it:

In measure 132(you can see this in the score if you scroll to around 5:25) the indicated notes seem to be G?, E flat, B flat in the LH and D, E flat, G, F in the RH but this sounds all wrong when I play it and different from the recording. I don't have a good ear and can't figure this out. Can someone help with the correct notes? Thanks.

Downbeat Ab maj 7 add 9 2nd inversion

3rd beat Ab maj 7 3rd inversion

measure 131

There are a lot of inaccuracies in the notes! The balance between votes is also very important. Fred is simply fantastic in the post-Bill Evans era.

that is measure 132 isn't it? I see now the OP was referring to measure 132

measure 132
I 1st INV 9
vii of IV diminished on 3rd beat

measure 133
Resolves to IV add 13

CORRECTED

Yes, sorry for the error....I corrected my post.

I corrected my roman numerals, I thought it was in Ab.

Can anyone suggest a different chord for the left and or right hand in this spot?

As a non jazz player I find this difficult to work out. The chord doesn't have to be a sophisticated one. The most standard/simple one would be fine. I just don't like the sound of the original one I posted or even when the D and E flat in the RH is omitted. I was able to find substitutes for one or two chords I didn't like in this piece but cannot find a solution I like in the spot.

Between voices.

The chord in r. h. of 132 bar is invention of transcriptor, which are many in this transcription. I understand the cross-collision between E in soprano and Eb in l.h.. My suggestion: in r. h. ,as it was , F-G, in l. h. G - Bb, and between them move the quarters Eb - Db - C - Bb.

i changed to an F min 2nd inversion in the LH for the first two beats and then a Bflat 7 for the second two beats. I'm guessing this is the most basic kind of voicing anddoesn't fit in so well with Hersch's more sophisticated chords but at least it sounds better to me.
