Jim Hall - Prelude To A Kiss (With TAB)

Prelude to a Kiss is a 1938 ballad composed by Duke Ellington, with lyrics by Irving Gordon and Irving Mills. This composition makes extensive use of the secondary dominant chords, diatonic circle of fifths, and evaded cadences. The song is chromatic and complex, employing sophisticated mathematics that were rare at this time in jazz. In this version we can hear Jim Hall and Ron Carter live. The voicings that Hall uses are very interesting, there are none that are superfluous.
