Van Ronk's "Jelly Jelly"
« on: March 13, 2006, 11:17:27 AM »
Dave Van Ronk plays an amazing arrangement of Josh White's "Jelly Jelly" on his last CD: The Tin Pan Bended and the Story Ended." Does anyone know the chord changes and/or fingerings for this arrangement? Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music or tab? It's classic jazzy blues and I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Martin,

 I close friend used to take lessons with Dave, I'll see him Saturday and I'll ask him about Jelly Jelly, I'm sure he'll know something of it.

Thanks John! I ordered the two Van Ronk audio lessons/songbooks from Stephan Grossman's Workshop to get a feel for his arrangements. I think SPortin Life Blues has some similarity, but I look forward to hearing what your friend suggests. Thanks, Marc

Thanks! That's the news  I was hoping for. This site is awesome. You ask a questions; you get a response; people share knowledge. I should have joined the site a long time ago. I look forward to reading the tab when it comes.

I WOULD LOVE A TAB AND LYRICS OF THIS ARRANGEMENT, oops caps down, oh well.....anyway, would love it, so please do add an mp3 and a copy of the tab for us to look over and learn from. Our fellow Weenie, John Cowan, waxwing, plays a sweet and poignant version of Sporting Life Blues. I love it every time he plays it. Good stuff, guys...

I realize this is an old thread, but I've been enjoying Ronk's arrangement of this lately just as much as the original poster was in 2006.  I figured the entire song out, but I've only tabbed a portion of it.  The performance I based the tab around is from the Dave Van Ronk DVD, Live at the Bottom Line.  The performance is from June 2001.  The performance from the album mentioned above (The Tin Pan Bended....) is from October 2001, I believe.  The earlier performance is superior in my opinion.

I can't remember the lyrics at the moment.

When that moon begins to glow
And all the lights are turned down low
It's time to go to sleep
Who's it calling my name so sweet

Jelly, Jelly
Jelly, Jelly
Jelly, Jelly, Jelly
Jelly all night long

Welcome to Weenie Campbell simplelines, and thanks for contributing right out of the gate. I have the D.V.R. CD in question, had not picked up on the song but will now bend my ear in that direction.
