~HYMN TO HIM~3 :THE KEYBOARD solo vamp
First, Gayle Moran's (!) piano solo seems to work around a pair of loose
cadences, ___ F#13_G9_E9_A9___ follOWed with...
{Funk-forte-nein-ish} A7_D_C_A_G___Ab.A?
with Ralphe Armstrong's groovey bass notes that still distract me.
I took the liberty of adding some Bass notes here, as it builds the feel.
It has a sort of a useful four-finger-X-three grip harmony (!$%),
to tranpose up freely, to the later vamp in 'D', too.
But, you can figure that out once you get the hang of it.
The violin vamps (!melody!) with that Tony Williams Lifetime
"Where (Are We Go-ing)" refrain, and leads on:

There is an proscribed violin Riff/Interlude, falling to an 'A' Sus 13,
it seems:
(F#)_(D)_(A)_(C#).(C).(A)__(F#).(D)
... building to the violin solo and a modulation to D, center. Then, I
think, its an odd first harmonization that threw me, but hey, that's
Francophile John tossing Ponty a baguette, I guess. I baked these
myself. Think of the D/F#, as a F# Minor #5 ?

I'd welcome any dissent here on the voicings offered. The whole piece
~HtH~ is a veritable pantry of spicey harmonies.
