On page 14 of the New Real Book Volume 2 is Alfie's Theme. The first
chord (which repeats many times throughout the tune) is Bb-. When I
see a dash after a chord, I think it means minor, so I would play a Bb
Db and an F. However, this really doesn't sound like the song. Bb
major sounds much more like it. Is this a misprint? Do I
misunderstand the chord symbol? Or am I just mishearing a very key
element of this classic song made so popular by Stevie Wonder when he
played it on the harmonica?
