Hello Pieter,
 
I do have music for I Loves You Porgy, so I hope to post a chord arrangement in the next day or two.
 
     Penelope is going to be a much tougher assignment. I haven't been able to locate a leadsheet for the tune. I have the transcription of Shorter's Penelope solo from the Wayne Shorter Artists Transcription book, but they did not publish the chord progression there.
 
     I am really not very good at transcribing chord sequences from performances. I'm handicapped even more than usual in this case because Herbie uses unusual chord forms and plays very quietly. I will take an few hours to see if I can make any progress with the tune, but I'm pessimistic about what my efforts might yield. Penelope may require a better set of ears than I currently posess.
 
  I guess it won't hurt to ask here. Has anyone had luck in trying to figure out Penelope?
