Here's the melody of On Green Dolphin Street (Bronisław Kaper). Wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Green_Dolphin_Street_(song)
Original recording in B (1947) → https://youtu.be/kv_N5YJoRKA
Miles Davis version (1958) → https://youtu.be/xGVdAlxlp18
== Specific details / common mistakes ==
👉 Miles Davis version is taken as reference today among jazz musicians
👉 In the original, the chromatic chords are played without Maj7 (C#, C, B)
👉 In the original, F7 is played instead of F#°, and the melody is Eb F G instead of Eb F Gb (transposed in Eb)
👉 In Miles version the first chords are purposely played with a Maj7 : it slightly clashes with the melody or the bass but that's what make it sound unique)
👉 Some notes of the melody are repeated here to fit perfectly with the syllables of the melody, but that choice is up to you
🧐 Each and every note and chord have been transcribed (in the 2 versions named above)
