Body and Soul - Work in progress ii

This one is a good example of an arrangement that I did years ago, but was never fully satisfied. I'm going to be looking at it this week so come back and see where it goes. I like the feel of it, but somehow the chords don't quite gel together as they should; and as they have done in my completed pieces. It is important in re-harmonization to introduce properly slightly 'off beat' chords, in this case the -b6 chords, or they stand out more than they need to. They work reasonably well, but perhaps that particular sound has to be worked into the piece a little earlier so that they don't stick out as much. 

I'm including a condensed chart of the recorded version with Suryan Stettner on Vocals and Holger Jetter on Bass. Note: the intro is at the end of the chart. An audio link is included.
