Jeremy,

Unfortunately I don't have time to do that. Maybe somebody
else on the list does however....

It's not so simple as just copying the changes down.

You have to analyze the original piano score because the chords they
write on top are often grossly incorrect.

However I'm doing a lot of subs right now from a book of sheet music
called:

"Jazz Showstoppers" from CPP Belwin press.

BTW, you can order sheet musics.

While I'm not charging money to give my subs out, etc., I spent
a small fortune and six years for my teacher to teach me how to do these
things as well as I can now so I'm not too sympathetic if people don't want
to spend the money to get the original sheet music.

At this point, I've done enough of them from scratch on the list so
those wishing to see the whole process can do so.

I'm still willing to answer questions but those like yourself that
are trying to learn to do subs, will need to get the sheet music
and read through it yourself like I do.
