For the blues Parker would use substitute chords and fit scales over those chords instead. So, for example if we had a D blues, he would say the progression went Dmaj7/Dmaj7, G7, or two chords in the bar D-7 G7/Dmaj7, D7, or A-7/D7 or Ab7// Between the first two bars he often focused on the motion o...

Here's the My Favorite Things score.

Chords don't only move one chord per measure so you have to have some lines worked out that fit when there are two chords per measure so here are some of those.

I read an article about how you need at least ten ways to play over ii V I progressions as a kind of quick start to playing jazz improvisation. To that end I wrote out a lot of different ways of creating the lines. Theoretically you can play various scales over the minor ii chord for starters but I ...

Challenging to play well for sure. I can't produce a good tone on the ones I've played in Bali. It may be the quality of the instrument, it may be me, or it might be the entire concept doesn't fly 100% and might still need some tweaking.

About that low interval limit. Your not supposed to play with the right hand below middle C on quartal chords for example but I notice they still sound good down to an A in certain contexts. For me it actually gives something that you can't get any other way so don't be too hard about the lowest pub...

Nice. For me the muddiness wasn't a problem. I actually wanted to hear more of that and less of the crystal clear sonorousness of the other chords. The next step would be to improvise over the changes of the tune perhaps with alterations to the chords and/or substitutions. My thing is to have two pe...

Surabaya's nice. Bali is pollution central but not as bad as Jakarta. Don't be surprised if my wife post's news here I died of thyroid cancer or some such. We're getting out. I just got placed in a job in Singapore! Woohoo. Three years later my little Emily will qualify for going to school in the th...

You got your music in a documentary, on Hearts of Space, and got it placed in rotation. Fuck all. I happen to know how hard it is to get your stuff placed on Hearts of Space and I can hear why you were successful. I hear Hedges adding his genius to yours when you play. Of course Hearts of Space play...
