Hi Mr. Boggs...I'm very happy to hear from you and glad to know that my videos are helpful. I was 14 when I became interested in jazz. That was many years ago and I entered the jazz scene in a different era(70's- 80's) ; jazz was more appreciated then. However you have a great life ahead of you and new opportunities. Please write to me at kenthewitt@hotmail.com and I will hip you to some tips about music and what jazz players I suggest you listen to. Thanks!

Actually you take a Tyner example from a classic II V I minor turnaround ( C-7 (5b) /F7 (alt)/ Bb - 7) I was referring to the V altered, also the C note can be used in the F7 alt, known as Ionien b6 scale ( Db / Eb / F / Gb / Ab / Bbb / C, etc..) it can encompass the fifth anyway even is B (5b) is a more tense way by the Super Locrian scale.
@KentHewittpiano88
7 жыл бұрын
I'm sure you are correct but you are not answering my question: where in my score or video are you referring to? Are you building an Ionian 6b scale on the Db because it alters the F7 chord adding a #5 and b9. The b5 fits the Super Locrian scale. I always prefer to define the scale from the root of the chord and see what the alterations are based on the diatonic scale.
@barkofink
7 жыл бұрын
@ 3:31 you claim the 3rd of Bb min, well yeah but at that particular time it is still a note movement from D (MixoLydian) to C # (Mixo b2 b6 or Ionian b6) that's the point, this is the way to think about it even if you get a commun note as the minor 3rd for Bb.
@barkofink
7 жыл бұрын
By the way I've just listen to this passage, and you are wrong about the II mode part ( and V too), since he clearly plays E♮ for the C (aka Db melodic minor/VII degree) therefore not C-7 b5 " Eb C Db Eb E Gb Ab Bb Eb Db C Db Ab E Eb Db C Eb G etc.." This is C alt /F7 sus 4 (13)/F7 (5#) and then Bb min, i don't think it's a good example of a II V I minor for beginners and intermediate anyway. Cheers.

Seeing child prodigy joey alexander made me wonder if mostly practicing "playing be ear" isn't the thing to do ( which doesn't mean you shouldn't study solos and licks, but the goal is just to be able to sing them, and not necessarily get the hands remember it). Do you have any opinion on that ?

Hi Ben. I don't know exactly how prodigies do it, like Joey, because they are gifted....and I believe that is intelligence, enjoying hard practice, and having the gift of great ears. I really think a combination of intellectual understanding, a big motivation to practice, and ear development are what most good musicians need to acquire. I spent a great deal of time in my early years learning reading skills, and practicing, but mostly listing to recordings and going to clubs in NYC to hear the greats and live jazz, That was a huge advantage for me. The listening and developing a feeling and ear for the music was really important. ....Thanks for a great question!

There's no question in my mind about the deep insight Bach had into music theory, after all he codified almost everything we know about it and yes Bach could probably swing as hard as any modern jazz master. Only there's just 400 years or so difference in feel. Anyway, I'm just a beginner and am studying and transposing those ii-V-I changes and licks. My question is, at my this level, how many licks should I incorporate into any given tune? Everything I learned or just work on a handful at a time and recycle them as I play through the changes?

The first phrase has a Bach-like sound to my ears.Consonance and dissonance, strong and weak beats.

Yes, John, much of music after Bach was influenced and came from him. There was no other musical genius on his level...like he set a definitive standard. Bless you for the comparison.
