I frequently put on tracks in itunes and practice comping. I come across sometimes, tracks with no chord player. I always forget what they are. But when I find them I have fun being the chord player and get a lot out of it.

So I thought I'd make a list of cd's with just bass or just bass and drums. I only have one to start, but I bet you guys will come up with a ton.

I'd like to organize all those tracks in itunes and just pull them up and comp.

I also will import them into a program like audacity and change the keys.

What you guys got??? You got tunes?

first, you should tune in wed for larrys class if you can.

next, what about us hanging thursday night? you around??

This is a podcast I did with John and Ed. We each recorded our version of Dolphin Dance and then had a hang and talked about it.

This is a cut from my new quartet's last performance. In a band dedicated to exploring Irish music through jazz, this is kind of a stretch, but it's fun, and I was happy enough with how it went down to post it. Hope you enjoy.

I was sitting, waiting. And then came the wizard, followed by five young cats, who could have all been his sons! I was thrilled.

I can think of parts of tunes that are lydian. The opening chord of Blue in Green. Sometimes guys play Gmin, but most of the time it's Bb maj and a sharp 4. In fact the melody is an E.

Can you think of more?

Sharp the 4!

如果拿Lydian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Lydian音階多了升4音。

西城故事最有名的片段，用到Lydian。在Disney音樂中也很常用到。

如果是四級大調和弦，通常會用到Lydian(因為Major #11)

例如Gmajor-Cmajor, C是G的四級，所以聲響上面還是都以G調為基礎，所以這邊的C就可以用到聲四音（#F）
