Naïma

Naïma, by John Coltrane.

I have included the bass part, but it may be ignored for section B (for beginners). It requires a lot of quirky stretching to reach the low Bb and maintain the other fingers on the chord.

Otherwise it's a great exercise for left hand stretching!

Hi, and thanks! The (1)and (2) are used only because the program I use, Finale, doesn't allow the same name for two different voicings! It's not part of the chord, just a numbering system.
Voilà!

Hi, Great Arrangement and Thanks!

I like the sound of the chord voicings, I'm familiar with a couple of them, but I was curious as to why the second AMaj7 had a (1).

I've never seen that or used that chord.

Cheers!
