Yo,

Anyone hear or have any nice arrangments for this tune??

I've done arrangments for it before, just wanna see if anyone else has done anything interesting...Jim Hall & Pat Methany have a nice arrangment but that's just for 2 guitars..

Louis Stewart does a really nice version of it.
I used to have it on tape but not anymore, well worth a listen if you can find it. I think one of the library's in town have some of his albums...

There's the classic on Complete Jazz at Massey Hall, with Parker's introduction. Bud Powell's piano is great on it.

Strangely enough, I have just started trying to learn this on piano today. Weird.

Haha cool, are they different arrangments?
I'd love to get my hands on Louis version, hard to get any of his stuff though!
It's a great tune, just wanted to listen to different enterpretations of it, I know there's so many out there...

I have a great version by George Benson, but none of the versions I've hear have much arrangment to them...maybe Oscar Peterson's done one...he's loves arrangin stuff!!!

Oh yeah, have a regular gig in the Conrad hotel soon, I'll post details when everythings confirmed, so you can all whip out the suits and ties an come in some night!!

The Louis version is indeed effin hard to get. I have it on vinyl. I recently managed to copy it to MP3s and listen to it for teh first time in 10 years.
It is a gem of an album (Louis the First from 1970s). It is some of the
best jazz guitar ever recorded.

The ATTYA track on it is the first and it is "blistering".
LS on that album was very lyrical and played some beautiful ballads but he could also do high speed jaw dropping stuff with what looked like zero effort.
His ATTYA starts in 5th gear and builds up from there.

I also have "Out on his own" but at least I could buy that on CD, even if it meant buying it from the old Gerald Davis Gallery on Capel Street.

Jim hall and pat metheny do a crazy version, not really to my liking but worth listening to as they dismantle it and put it back together,
there s a country guitarist who does this(i know it sound stranges, he doesn't do it country style btw) and thats one of the better version s i've heard, if you good arrangement idea listen to keith jarret
