chart request: While my lady sleeps
Bill Williams
recorded by Coltrane early on in his career:
While my lady sleeps
and
Violets for your furs
Managed to track down the latter but not the former (it's not in
Fakebook index or in any of the realbooks I've bought over the years)
which is surprising really as quoting from it has been a bit of a sax
player's cliche since Trane's time.
Any suggestions?

listed. So the changes are approximations off the treble and bass
clef. I tried to keep the changes as vanilla as I could but especially
during the B section, it was hard not to put the color tones in. It's
a 32 bar tune w/ an extra 10 measures added on to the last A section.
Hope this helps.

they based on an older sheetmusic version? I believe Gloria Swanson and
singers of that era recorded it.
The Coltrane version ( http://tinyurl.com/fypgk ) is quite different to
the changes you suggest with an ostinato (I play Cmaj7 Bbmaj6) for a
lot of the A section but I imagine the original harmony (by Bronislaw
Kaper) followed the melody more.

Yes, the sheet music is real old. It's from the Free Library of
Philadelphia's sheet music collection --it had a stamp on it, "Marty
Lahr's Orchestra." I worked it out more as a chord melody for guitar
after hearing chet baker's vocal version. I have only heard Trane's
version on the radio and it had a whole different feel (ostinato--which
I forgot about til you reminded me--and that soaring tenor wailing the
melody, which as soon as anyone hears the first couple of notes, knows
it's Trane). Kaper also had a hand in writing Green Dolphin Street
too. Like I mentioned, there were no chords listed on the sheet music,
so I followed the treble and bass clefs to work out a serviceable
guitar arrangement that I could use for solo gigs. Chuck Wayne also
recorded it but I haven't heard his version.
