Ideas for Intros Pt. 2 by Behn Gillece

Chinese translation is for Chinese students
這個part2是複雜版的Part1
目的一樣只是要導入到第一個和弦。
第一個練習(第一小節到第八小節),其實沒有太大的差別,就是加了個A dim7
第二個練習(第九小節到第十六小節),你可以看到,全部是半音階下行。
只要記得開始的音要落在從降五音開始,一路下行。

前奏(intro)
有很多不同的方式可以為一首曲子加一些前奏,
今天要講的叫做b5 intro。
因為開始的那個音是從曲子調性的主音算起來的降第五音。
一路下行,主要的目的是帶領到第一個和弦(PDF中是Fmajor)

通常我們如果用這個intro,會讓他是8小節intro,也就是像PDF中寫的。
當然在這些和聲配置(Voicing)中間,你可以插入其他不同的Voicing,
增添色彩。

Sassy Samba, a Jimmy Heath tune

This tune is a tribute to Sara Vaughn. I've always loved it, but as far as I can tell it never really made it into the popular fake books. A friend of mine transcribed it back in the the late 1970s. I recorded this version for piano and marimba a few years ago.

The form is kinda long and a lot of fun to improvise on. It's usually done in even 8ths. I checked Youtube and found several covers by a variety of great jazz players. There are also lyrics for the melody, although I don't know who wrote them.

A lead sheet is included.
