You have previously stated that your transcription of Parker's solo and the
melody of "Confirmation" is perfection and that the Omnibook version is
wrong to the point of not even being musica,l as I remember. You have
posted your version of the first chorus, could you post your version of the
melody. I have a different version of both I would like to compare with
yours.
