Play Along CD – in 4/4. Play Along CD – in 7/4. Lesson 99: 4 Note Cell. In this lesson we’ll look at 5 different harmonic contexts for a common 4 note cell. This 4 note cell is often thought of as one of the simplest Major 7 #11 voicings (1,Maj 3, #11, Maj 7). In C this is C, E, F#, B or one simple voicing for C Major 7 #11. Each cell can be used for improvising as well constructing simple 4 note voicings (which are in several cases rootless). These are the 5 contexts we will look at:. Protected: Triad a...

Play Along CD – in 4/4. Play Along CD – in 7/4. New Drones – Arco Bass. I recently recorded new Drones with my good friend Jeff Harshbarger. Jeff spent an afternoon over at my home studio and recorded all 12 drones with his beautiful acoustic bass and bow.

To open the file on PC or RAR Extractor for Mac. I am a bignne...

Play Along CD – in 4/4. Play Along CD – in 7/4. Lesson 41: Shell Tension. Over the years I’ve used a simple tool that can really aid a single note player in creating a harmonic context without a piano or chordal instrumen which is often not available. Simply by arpeggiating the shell voicing (root, 3rd and 7th of a chord) first and than playing a tension, group of tensions or entire melodic phrase. Shell Voicing with 13 and b13 PDF.

Play Along CD – in 4/4. Play Along CD – in 7/4. This past week in my Jazz Theory and Performance class at KU. We looked at a solo recorded in 1927 by Saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer. The entire solo is fantastic, but in this lesson we’ll look at just one idea that he played which I found interesting in that it uses a concept introduced in lesson 41 Shell Tension. Purchase The Arco Bass Drones. Below is Frankie Trumbauer’s. Sing’n The Blues. Lesson 98: Trumbauer PDF. Below is a midi mp3 of the PDF above:.
