Billie Jean

I wrote out Billie Jean years ago for a jazz gig where we did all Michael Jackson covers.This was was my favorite arrangement of the night. We did it as a waltz and I took some liberties with the chords. In particular, the 'James Bond' sounding Dmin to Dmin#5 to Dmin6 and back down again for the verses works quite well with the melody.It's too bad I don't have a recording of it, if I ever make one i'll post it.After Michael's untimely death, I dug this out and brought it to a jam.It went over quite well and some people knew it sounded familiar but couldn't place it.Given the historical significance of this song, it totally deserves inclusion into the jazz canon...or you could just play Billie's Bounce for the millionth effing time.
