Song for Bilbao
May 30, 2010 in Jazz Standards
This is a great standard/jazz original that many people overlook. It’s a jazz original by Pat Metheny, and you should definitely learn it! It’s a crowd favorite that seems to well within the jazz tradition even though it can be done with almost a rock groove. Make sure to check out the versions on youtube! The B section goes to basically a 6/8 feel, and should be played with slash chords a whole-step down from the roots.

These changes are a lot better than the ones in the Real Book, by the way. Special thanks to Sandon Mayhew and Chuck Smith from Boise for turning me onto the better set of changes!
