Practicing improv and the application of Pentatonic scales (with one alteration) on Green Dolphin Street. The scales bring out unusual notes over the chords. #9 and #5 on Maj 7, natural 7 and #11 on Min 7 and the combination of natural/altered tensions on the Dom 7 chords.

I posted a sheet to googledocs that lists the pentatonic choices that I'm referring to when soloing. Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0TwrpqjL6dQQnAybmJmM0Rma0k/view?usp=s…

Practicing improv (using Pentatonic scales) on Green Dolphin Street today before a class at Berklee. It's good to play on piano in order to hear how the scales and colors sound over the chord. Favorite pianists that use Pentatonics so well include Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Kirkland and Dave Kikoski. When I get a chance, I'll post a sheet on googledocs that lists which Pentatonics I'm using for the changes. Ed
