Hi Everyone,

Looking forward to my first time in Italy this coming week. I'll be playing next Saturday, February 25 at Gregories in Rome. Always great to meet other vibes players when I travel so please reach out and say hello if you're out there!

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。

Many of you know this already. I've done a bunch of lessons on it.

One of my favorite compositions by Keith Jarrett. I've been listening to some brilliant versions from Keith playing this song. Some from the 70's as well as some newer renditions. They are all inspiring but the one from the live version recorded in Lille, France in '81 is very special. Day off from Berklee due to the snowstorm so I had some more time in the shed.

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。
