New album Still Doing Our Thing available!

Hi all,

During the pandemic, I had a nice opportunity to do a considerable amount of recording with the Posi-Tone "bubble band" with Art Hirahara on piano, Boris Kozlov on bass, and Rudy Royston on drums . I'm very proud of what we accomplished during these uncertain times. My new album comes out March 19th and is available on my website now, behngillece.com

12 Key This ii V I Lick -V

What key is it in?

Is it a minor ii V or major?

So if you if you know what key this is in, then you can figure out the ii V chords as well right? (Of course you can).

Play it in 12 keys.

Play a solo over the tune I'll Remember April. Fit this lick into the tune. Do you see where? Everywhere there is a minor ii V. i.e. Amin7b5 D7.

Honor system. When you've done all this work and done it well, sign off on the assignment here. Just make a comment and say Done or Completed or whatever you want.
