On Green Dolphin St

“On Green Dolphin Street” (originally titled “Green Dolphin Street”) is a 1947 popular song composed by Bronisław Kaper with lyrics by Ned Washington. The song was composed for the film Green Dolphin Street, which was based on a 1944 novel of the same name by Elizabeth Goudge, and became a jazz standard in the 1950s.

In this clip from the full course, we focus on the C section and study the evolution of the harmonic progression: the original progression, how Ahmad Jamal took it a step further, then Miles Davis version, today’s most common chords and my own reharmonization.
