Here's my version of Waltz New - a contrafact of Someday My Prince Will Come
🚨 Play a Great Blues in 3 Months – Week 11
Last week, we started working with a real tune—“Bag’s Groove”—combining the melody with chord voicings in the spaces.
This week, we take that idea a step further.
👉 We move toward a more chord melody approach.
In this version, you’ll notice:
• Some melody notes are now harmonized with chords
• Additional voicings fill out the texture
• Certain harmonies are slightly modified for a fuller sound
• The line and harmony are more integrated
I talk about There Will Never Be Another You and include an 'Epic Etude'. 5 Choruses of chord study with some easy soloing.
Please note that I've made a reference to "flat 4" in the pentatonic scale for this video. I'm not sure why, haha! But here is a basic summary of the scale tones for Fmin pentatonic over an F7 chord.
If you think of the main scale tones of F7 being mixolydian, you would have F-G-A-B-C-D-Eb. Fmin Pentatonic would be F,Ab,Bb,C and Eb. So basically leave out scale tone 2 from the mixolydian, flat the 3rd, leave 4 alone unlike what I said in the video, haha! Then just leave out scale tone 6 and you have Fmin pentatonic.
Hope that makes sense :)

Just talking about the Dizzy Gillespie tune 'Birks Works' and showing a very simple but cool arrangement for the head.

You should be able to do this. If you can't then just practice it! Don't worry about why.
We did a zoom hang and talked about Israel.
