Lots of stuff here @Tal175 https://youtu.be/LibtET06s0U?si=eo7Cg1D_TyuOXP9y He doesn't comp this way for everyone. I get the feeling he knows Jordan well enough to push him harmonically. He...
Thats almost certainly true, but I think in practice you’re not often going to get these sort of passing chords of durations longer than a measure. And at even a medium tempo, you can get away with...
1. Due respect, but “you might want to avoid that avoid note” is not some revolutionary advice either and has also been said 150,000,000 on this forum and elsewhere … and has the added benefit of...
A few of us like to respond to the question asked by the original poster, which in this instance was: "Why would you play the harmonic minor scale over an A minor chord?" As usual, most respondents...

When I was at Django a GoGo a couple of years ago, Paulus Schafer was one of the guest instructors. He brought a Gitane with him, and sounded better than anything I could ever hope to get out of my...
Ah, the Walker brothers. In the mid-sixties I was in bar band that played cover tunes--mostly joints in Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY. "The Sun Doesn't Shine...." was one of our stock tunes. ...
