Please explain your submissions with any useful information (ie bebop scale, blues scale, inside/outside, rhythmic devices, accents, etc) that make the run understandable and re-usable. If there is a specific kind of harmony or chord that it fits over, please include that info as well.

Let's get every generic chromatic run known to jazz posted and milk them for all they are worth!

Notation is fine too. Just post the licks however you like.

Here's one from Kurt Rosenwinkel:

Simple as can be! It's 8th or 16ths and the "7" in this example is the "good" target note, the "6" is the passing tone, "5" another good note or neighboring tone. He played the lick a lot on the album Heartcore. Transpose as needed.

Great thread!

Here's a couple II-V-I's in G:


Am7 | D9 | Gmaj7

-7-8-7-6-5--------|-----------------|--------
------------8-5-6-|-7-5-------------|---------
-------------------|----7-6-5-4-----|--------
-------------------|------------7-5-|-4------
-------------------|----------------|-------
-------------------|----------------|------



Moving the lick up a minor third:

Am7 | D7b9 | Gmaj7

------7-6-5---------|-----10-9-8-----------|------
------------8-7-5---|-------------11-10-8--|-7---
-4-5----------------|-7-8------------------|----
--------------------|-----------------------|-----
--------------------|-----------------------|------
--------------------|-----------------------|------


I couldn't get my bar lines to line up straight. How do you guys do that

Thanks for your contributions! Keep them coming! Seeing the actual common practice via data like this is always helpful- and fun too.
