Jazz #3
John Coltrane's "Moment's Notice" is a popular jazz standard.
This is the third cache in my jazz series. These puzzles are a chance for musical cachers to show what they know. Once again, for those of you who are not fans of jazz music, you don't have to listen to the songs, although it may help.
This third puzzle is dedicated to another song by saxophonist John Coltrane. In 1958, Coltrane released the hard-bop album "Blue Train", containing the songs Blue Train, Moment's Notice, Locomotion, I'm Old Fashioned, and Lazy Bird. His band personnel consisted of a handful of legendary musicians at the time: John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Kenny Drew (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and "Philly" Joe Jones (drums). Blue Train was an album that helped shape the new hard-bop sub-genre in jazz.
If you are curious, hard-bop is a genre that evolved out of bebop. Bebop is a jazz sub-genre known to be incredibly fast (like q=260) with rapid chord changes. Bebop died out because people couldn't dance to it. Soon, hard-bop came out of bebop's ashes. Hard-bop is known to be a bit slower, calmer, and straightforward, and that's why it became so popular. The 3 musicians known for creating bebop were the legendary Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis. The 3 musicians known for creating hard-bop were Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, and Donald Byrd. But I'll get to that later in another cache.
Now for the puzzle. The coords will be N 38' AB.6CD W 077' EF.GH. The head for Moment's Notice is very long (2 pages), so the puzzle is confined just to the first page.

Want some more helpful hints? Here you go! Like I said last time, when in doubt, go with alphabetical order, starting with A♭being first and G being last. John Coltrane was also playing the tenor saxophone in Moment's Notice, which is in the key of B♭. Having a "Real Book" in the key of B♭or knowledge of how to transcribe music into another key would help greatly, as always. Feel free to message me if you need any help. If you can't find a copy of the music in the correct key, I can get you a link.
