I show those chord changes here transposed to Bb for ease of comparison with other versions. It was the Frank Sinatra recording in the key of G from 1947, arranged by his musical director, Axel Stordahl. In the beginning …Īs usual, I don’t have the original sheet music to refer to, but I do have Spotify, YouTube and an internet connection, so I set out to find the earliest recording I could and transcribe the changes. Here is my playlist of recordings of this song to compare. We’ll look at the song in Bb major, as it is most commonly played and seen in jazz real books. There is little of the usual repetition found in AABA or ABAC songs. It is 32 bars long as is most common for jazz standards, but it is ‘through composed’ meaning every section is different, so I call the form ABCD (8-8-8-8). But this is by far the most sophisticated of the song he wrote which became jazz standards.

He also wrote Ghost of a Chance, My Foolish Heart and Beautiful Love. The song, written in 1944 by Victor Young as horror film music for The Uninvited (A composer and his sister discover that the reason they are able to purchase a beautiful gothic seacoast mansion very cheaply is the house’s unsavory past).

There is also a limited number of copies of the print-edition of Harmony with LEGO Bricks remaining for sale on a first-come-first-served basis from Jazzhouse Records.

I am delighted to say that Conrad’s wife, Ali Cork, has given me permission to publish this 2021 PDF e-book edition of Conrad’s book. In 2009 I published my own book, Insights in Jazz, which builds on the method that Conrad proposed for hearing and memorising jazz harmonic progressions. I worked with Conrad to help him bring out the 2008 print-edition of his book. It clearly explains the differences in approach needed between classical and jazz musicians and, therefore, how teachers should teach and students should listen to understand jazz and improve their jazz improvisation. It is no exageration to say that this book changed my jazz performance life. This book first appeared in 1985 and is now available for the first time as a PDF e-book. I am delighted to announce that the classic book, Harmony with LEGO Bricks (Conrad Cork), is available for purchase once more.
