Hello everyone,
I am trying to learn Stormy Weather by Jerry Portnoy (album - Down in the Mood room) by ear and the intro is confusing me big time.
I'm playing with a Bb harp, seems to be the key for lots of melodys in the song, but i am not 100% sure if i am going in the right direction.
anyone knows this song? or has tried to play it?
Thx in advance
David

Thank you Winslow, you heard
Thank you Winslow, you heard right :)
I got myself an Ab harp and currently halfway into the song. Very fun to play, lots and lots of feeling into his playing.
Have to say thx to David to introducing me to Jerry's playing.
Cheers
David
The snippet I hear on iTunes tells me that he's playing it in Eb on an Ab harp (second position).
