Celia – Lead Sheet

I also wrote down Bud Powell’s solo break, which should be learned in all 12 keys !

I didn’t wrote all the “embellishments” and “appoggiaturas” played by Bud Powell since it may change from a musician to another (the goal is to make our own versions or switching between these different options).

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.
