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.
