By Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass. By Karl Suessdorf. Arranged by Joe Pass. This edition: pdf, streaming. Jazz, Standards, Swing. Individual part. 7 pages. Maksim Ramashka #1459356. Published by Maksim Ramashka (A0.1901134).A study in restraint and beauty. This is the complete, note-for-note transcription of Joe Pass's accompaniment behind Ella Fitzgerald on the impressionistic ballad Moonlight in Vermont — one of the most atmospheric guitar performances ever committed to record.
What you'll learn:
- Joe Pass's lush, open chord voicings that paint the harmony in wide colors instead of dense stacks
- Subtle counter-melodies that weave around Ella's vocal line like a second voice
- Rubato breathing - how to stretch and contract time with a singer without losing the form
- Tasteful use of space, sustained chords, and harmonic suspensions that mirror the song's pastoral imagery
- Sophisticated reharmonization on a tune famous for its non-standard 6-bar A sections and modal moments
Perfect for: intermediate-to-advanced jazz guitarists, ballad accompanists, chord-melody enthusiasts, and players who want to learn how to hold an entire performance with quiet, melodic comping rather than busy chord stabs.
What's inside: standard notation and TAB, every chord symbol, full performance fingerings, and detailed timing notes preserving the rubato of the original.
