All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

[rpjazzguitar]

That’s not Greek that’s Berklee-ese

I don’t hear no Plato arguing to ban no mixob9b13 from the plebs*

I will accept dominant b9 b13 may be a pretty good name because at least it goes with the chord symbol.

*due to the intense sense of problematic cultural stereotyping it promotes among the lower orders

Thinking "7b9b13 chord" gets me where I want to go and, if I change one note I don't need to travel to a different part of Ancient Greece to name it properly.

I mean the joke is none of the names correspond to the modes the Greeks were talking about anyway - it all got scrambled over the centuries.

A lot of musical development came from people trying to copy the Greeks and getting it wrong.

This is a nonsense thread and I'm surprised this question is being asked. In any case it was answered quite early on.

The melody note over that A7 is a natural B, loud and clear. So the chord is either an A9 or a straight A7. Playing a b9 or a #9 is obviously going to conflict. You could perhaps alter the 5th, especially as the next chord is a Dm. So an A7#5 (A7b13) would be fine. But altering the 9, definitely not.

Yes, marvelous isn't it?! Nonsense threads are always the longest - usually at least 3 pages.

Mark Twain, now James Joyce?

Lewis Carol, surely?

Ah you’re probably right. Has Finnegan’s Wake vibes though.

I tried, but couldn't get past the first page of that . (Enjoyed Ulysses however.) I just googled the poem and noticed it uses the word 'gyre' which I recall being mentioned as a word with unknown meaning in the context of another poem by Yeats. I wonder if he lifted it from Carol?

I tried too. Couldn’t pay me to try again. Dubliners and Ulysses I liked quite a lot though.

A Portrait Of The Artist is worth a go if you haven't already. The writing style matures as does the narrator, but it's far less 'showy' or experimental than Ulysses. I have to say, I read some of your stuff too Peter and really enjoyed it .

I always liked The Pogues more than The Dubliners.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

EDIT: It had escaped me that Shane McGowan died last November.

Ask Charles McPherson about how Barry Harris always stressed the importance of having a brilliant general education.

Lewis Carol, surely?

Yes, Carroll, and a quote of his that would apply to this forum is:

“You're mad” said the Cheshire Cat

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.

“You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn't have come here!”
