Nice Work If You Can Get It

Biography:

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz vocalist with a vocal range spanning three octaves (D?3 to D?6). Often referred to as the "First Lady of Song" and the "Queen of Jazz" or just simply "Lady Ella", she was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
Fitzgerald was a notable interpreter of the Great American Songbook.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

by Gershwin

This one is an augmented bonanza! takes some practice, but it's worthwhile.
The placement of the chords is very melodically driven.
(+) = augmented
(-) = minor (or literally "flat the _" depending on context)

Enjoy! :D

A7+5 Ab9+5 G7+5 C9
Holding hands at midnight

Strolling with the one girl

Sighing sigh after sigh

And you can get it -- if you try

Just imagine someone

Where two hearts become one

Who could ask for anything more?

A7+5 Ab9+5 G7+5 C9
Loving one who loves you,
