Arrangement tutorial breaking down rhythmic interpretation and reharmonization techniques for Bill Evans' 'Turn Out the Stars,' with an annotated PDF and demo.
This lesson dissects an arrangement of Bill Evans' 'Turn Out the Stars,' focusing on interpreting the rhythmic grid—swung vs. straight subdivisions, tempo and groove choices—and deciding when to play. It covers practical reharmonization ideas (iiø–V substitutions, turning iiø into dominant colors, upper-structure triads, diminished approaches) and voicing tips inspired by Evans. The downloadable PDF annotates every switch so you can study the demo and apply the techniques to your own arrangements.
