More Vibes In Peter Gunn

Check out the sound track. Great! Here's what my buddy John Keene wrote me.

This is the season 1 finale of Peter Gunn (episode 38 which is hard to believe they used to do 35+ episodes per season for these old shows). There are a few standout things besides the basic plot.

"Little Suede Shoes" in all keys

Tony has challenged me to post 12 versions of Little Suede Shoes in 36 days (one every 3 days) in each key of the pythagorean 12 note system (well-tempered).

The rule: I must play the head, play Charlie Parker's solo, and then improvise within the key for 1 chorus. I end it with one A section.

You're on Tony!

On display is Little Suede Shoes in its original key of Eb. Each new key will be posted as a comment.

Finding Common Tones Pt. 1 by Behn Gillece

Chinese translation is for Chinese students
這邊講到如何在四個音的和弦上,只移動一個音,就可以換到下個和弦。
打開PDF,看到第一行,是最基本的2-5-1-6的和弦進行。
從Aminor7中,移動5音(G)到下一個和弦D7的三音(F#)。
然後第二小節Gmajor7的根音(G)移動到下個和弦E9的三音(G#)

依此類推,你可以看到下一行也是用這樣的方式,
只移動一個音到鄰近的音,但是整個和弦聲音都變了。

甚至是第三行,就算在同一個和弦上,我們也可以移動一個音,改變和聲配置,
讓你在Comping時,更多選擇可以使用。
