[Dixielandjazz] Circle of 5ths

[Edmetzsr at aol.com]

Hey guys and girls,
    The Circle of Fifths goes both left and right, or  rather clockwise and 
counter clock wise. The sharp keys go clockwise  (right):
     C - G - D - A - E - B - F# (Gb) - C# (Db)
And the flat keys go counter clockwise (left):
    C - F - Bb - Eb - Ab - Db (C#) - Gb (F#)
 
That's the Circle Of Fifths as I learned it from an old Professor when I  
learned classical theory (Willie Richter) at age 12, while in training to become  
the church organist. No device has been more useful in my experience as an  
arranger, composer, jazz pianist.
