Here is a slew of turn arounds I've found useful over the years. You can plug them into any tune you want across genres and in multiple rhythms. The "Lady Bird" turn-around is of course, from Tadd Dameron's classic bebop tune of that name. It also appears in Wes Montgomery's West Coast Blues and lots of other tunes. I also find it works nicely in certain lush-sounding Hawaiian tunes. The final Hawaiian turn-around John Ely taught me 20 years ago works equally well in a swing context.

NOTE: I corrected a bunch of errors in the accidentals for the turn-arounds I posted yesterday. Please re-download pages 1 & 2 if interested. The tab remains the same as before but the music is corrected. apologies!
