Rootless Voicings - Part 9 - Dom 13b9

Chinese Translation for Chinese students

C13b9 的和聲配置(voicing) 你可以把7音放最底下(Bb),再來3音(E),然後是b9(Db)和13(A)音。

來談談這個13音(A),在聽覺上你可能下一個和弦要接到Fmajor7 的錯覺。因為natrual A是FMajor的三音。
所以當我們在演奏ii-V-I的和聲進行中,會在演奏五級(V)時開始累積Major的聲響,因為五級(V)運用Dominant13b9。
但是其實我們不一定要演奏Major和弦,我們也可以接到Fminor7和弦。

快速找到Dominant 13b9 和聲配置的方法:

例如: C13b9 ———— 從C往下想大二度(Major2),得到Bb音,再往下想小二度(Minor2),得到A音。
把Bb當成根音(root),A做成大三和弦(triad),這樣就得到了C13b9。

G13b9 ———— F當作根音,做一個E大三和弦。
D13b9 ———— C當作根音,做一個B大三和弦。

Rootlss Voicings - Part 7 - Just Sayin'

Chinese translation for Chinese students

在這個影片中,Tony只想說一點,那就是有經驗的鐵琴演奏者總是使用無根音的和聲配置(Rootless voicing)。

Tony開始告訴學生在演奏和弦ii-v-I時,V級Dominant和弦需要用到diminished scale,學生們便開始轉便成為真正有爵士語彙的演奏者。

演奏爵士樂時,真的很需要聽到那些和弦延伸音(extensions)。
如果你想要成為更好的爵士樂手,盡量少打根音,多運用一些九音、十一音、十三音等。

Rootless Voicings - Part 6 - Proving You Don't Need the Root - IMHO

(Chinese Translation for Chinese students)

Tony要證明即興時,不需要敲擊和弦的根音,也能辨別出不同的和弦。

以C6和G7和弦為例,Tony示範即興,演奏漸漸的從有根音到無根音,聽者還是能分辨什麼時候從C6換成G7。

所以試著練習看看,你會發現我們在即興時,真的不需要敲擊根音,你也能聽到不同的和弦變換。

When You Wish Upon A Star - Solo Vibraphone Concepts

In a lesson this morning, the focus was on solo vibe playing for the song "When You Wish Upon A Star". After the lesson, my student suggested that I record a quick version which illustrated some of the things addressed in the lesson. Here's a quick version that I just recorded on the phone playing one chorus of the melody only.
