CELIA : Harmony
As usual, with « old » standards or jazz tunes, there are some question marks about few chords changes or notes :
- Bar 5 : is seems that B.P himself sometimes plays Db-7, sometimes Db7 or G7alt.
- Bridge : the D7 chord (V7 of G-) is sometimes played for two bars instead of the complete II / V.
