Hi Ken,
Looks like I may only add to your confusion.  Looking at chord chart  only 
for arrangement done by Kit Johnson.  Begins in Cm.  At bar 16, 8  bars of Fm, 
G7 (basically) take you to Bb7 & then the Eb chorus.   Nowhere in the tune is 
the progression you describe below as bars 13 & 14 of  verse.
 
Then I just found it in Littlefield's FB Vol. II.  Basically jives  with Kit 
Johnson's.  "A " Section is in Cm, 16 bars after a 4 measure  Intro Vamp.  8 
bar B section is in Fm.
C is the Eb Solo Section.  Bars 13-14 of this section do go Eb / Eb7,  Ab / 
Abm.

Hi  Listers,

I'm enquiring about the correct structure for the above. I've  got a lead 
sheet in which the Verse and Interlude are in C minor and the  Chorus is in Eb. 
However, the bassist in my band has a different lead sheet in  which the Verse 
and Interlude are in 3 flats, but the Chorus is in C.  

Also, in my lead sheet (in Eb), bars 13 & 14 of the Verse  are:   I Eb / Eb7 
/ I C7 / Abm / I. The change from Eb7 to C7 seems  odd.

Can anyone help with the conventional key structure and the chords  usually 
played at bars 13 & 14 of the Verse?

Thanks in advance,
