Virtual Jam Session - "Movin' Along"

Jam to "Movin' Along"

Here's a laid-back blues by Wes Montgomery. Nothing exceptionally tricky here except for measures 9 and 10 of each chorus.  I a regular blues in Eb, those chords would be V and IV, i.e. Bb7 and Ab7.  Instead, Montgomery shifts the chords up.  Measure 9 is F#m7, B7, or 1/2 step above the usual Bb7 chord.  There are a bunch of tonalities in measure 10, but they converge around the IV chord (Ab13) eventually.  So just make sure you play measure 9 a half-step higher than you might have planned in a regular blues.
