I think of modal playing as when you hang on one chord for a long time! 

Check out all the edits in this video! Just the idea of thinking about playing accurately messes me up! But target notes are important. Classical mallet players use them all the time. 

Here is a ii V I exercise that goes through all of the keys. It starts with ii = Cm9, V = F7, I = BbMaj9. Then, the next cycle takes the I to minor: Bbm9, Eb7, Abmaj9, etc.

Attached are an MP3 generated by MuseScore 4, and corresponding PDF.

I probably picked up the melody somewhere but don't know the original source. If you recognize it, please let me know.

I am able to play it on piano, and am working on the vibes now. I'll post that when I get it.

BTW, what's the difference between an Etude and Exercise?

Enjoy,

In this exercise, as in with all the ones in the style, your job is to fill in the chords right, and all the other partials on the chord page, and then memorize the solo. Next play it over and over and over, make it work for you make a swing, give it your interpretation.

When you get it all down and you understand it, you should try and put it in at least one other key as painful as that may be.
