Moonlight In Vermont (Couldn't transpose)
Review by Ben R. on 23 Oct 2024 review stating Die With A Smile - Piano/Vocal/Guitar
I wanted a basic piano/guitar chart for this song, as performed by Frank Sinatra, who recorded it in Db, which is the key I needed. Apparently, transposing is not available for all charts on this website. There was also a piano instrumental chart available, that was transposable, but this was not what I wanted/needed. So this means that when I bring the other chart, (which was in Eb), to open mikes, jam sessions, etc., I have to ask the musicians to transpose on the fly. That's hit or miss, sometimes they can do it, (even already know the song as well), and sometimes they can't, or the guy who's hosting the whole thing gets all pissy about your not having charts in the key you want! ( I think he's a teacher who brings in his students, and doesn't want them to have to transpose, which I still think is BS, because any real pro jazz jams should have a house band that can do this! ) Every place I've ever been in NYC, all the players can play without charts, in any key you need, I guess once you get out into the sticks, it's a different story. And in conclusion, I'll say that one of your competitor's websites can transpose anything, and the only reason I didn't use them is because their website is totally screwed up, and not user friendly, and I wasn't able to log in .
