Donna Lee - Playing the Changes Introduction

Donna Lee is a very popular bebop / jam standard. 

It was written and recorded by Charlie Parker, although some believe that Miles Davis actually wrote the head. 

It is in the key of Ab.  Good practice for that key!  Many of licks also works over progressions in its relative minor - F minor.


Here is a chart for the chord changes
