All The Things You Are - Enclosures & Pivots

[CliffR]

In an effort to get enclosures and pivots more embedded in my vocabulary, I composed this little etude over All The Things You Are. The idea is to play an enclosure to the third of each chord, then a pivot to the ninth, and a couple of scalar notes leading to the next chord.

Very good.
Such an exercise makes sense and, above all, sounds very jazzy.

Thanks Kris!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing it.

Nice.

How's the finger BTW? Has it healed?

Sounding good, Cliff. I need to play more with enclosures. I have a few Django licks where they appear, but they don't tend to crop up in my playing elsewhere, so this is a good reminder of a focus area.

Thanks guys! James, the finger is completely healed, thanks for asking!
