 "So What" (Miles Davis)--opening "theme"
 =========
 -- comp. Miles Davis & Bill Evans (from _Kind_of_Blue_, 1959)
   -- guitar arr., tcg, '8?, '94
   -- 4/4 // Keys: Dm; Ebm // Allegro
                                                     __3__
   -- eighth notes (1 &) are "swing" 8ths: closer to 1 & & . . . .
                                                     DAH duh
   -- what follows is the opening of the tune (after some Debussy-esque
       ad-lib piano diddling by Evans), apparently the only pre-composed
       part of the song; it's a neat interplay of bluesy bass and quartal
       piano chords, both integrated into the following guitar "arrangement":

 Form (32-bar): ||: A (8 measures) - A (8) - B (8) - A (8) :||

 ----------------
 ... rest of tune a free-form improv over the same A-A-B-A 32-bar form: two
 8-bar sections ("A-A") of Dm dorian, 8 bars of Ebm dorian ("B"), and 8 more
 bars ("A") of Dm dorian. The bass starts "walking," the piano comps/
 ad-libs quartal-modal chord voicings, and Miles & the other horn players
 take leads in Dm & Ebm Dorian. (Dorian in Dm: d-e-f-g-a-b-c-d; Eb Dorian
 a half-step higher). . . . Here's the start of Miles' lead, to give you a
 better idea (note that the D dorian scale "fits" whether the chord is Dm7/11
 or Em7/11: both consist of notes from this very scale)--
