Just put together a new sheet this weekend...

BTW did you get a chance to view the Clifford Brown clip? That might be the only film record (not sure) of him. Late night Detroit TV. Thanks Soupy (Sales)!! Yeah, that is something. Seeing a horn player on TV like that, as rare as it must have been back then, is pretty much unthinkable today. It w...

Remember this is before the civil rights movement. It was the segregated nature of the country that created that environment. Minority neighborhoods were largely ignored and were a totally separate world. I imagine that people who are shut off from many opportunities in general will turn their tale...

So mathmusician, are you just quoting something by NateComp from above? It is great that you brought up this thread again, though. I had an accordion gig this week, so I've been practicing it for many days now. These voicing ideas are a nice way to explore the sounds on the accordion. You can't just...

Well, Motherlode, thanks for all you've done to make THIS place an interesting neighborhood!

Wow, what a neighborhood that must have been. Thanks for sharing that.

Just as an aside, who else came up with you in Penny's Barber Shop? Who was teaching you?

I've referred to three be-bop songs in my examples, "That's Earl, Brother", "Sippin' at Bell's" and "Things to Come" and there are a few more important ones. Had you ever heard them before? I've heard "Sippin' at Bell's" and "Things to Come" many ti...

There are a few individuals today that are advocates of a technique known as 'triad pairs'. Where by two triads are played into each other and the criteria is that they share NO common tones. This is a valid and useful technique. I have the same feeling. The example once came up on AAJ about the tr...

Motherlode, Great topic, thanks for writing it up and presenting so well. Wonderful illustrations using the Bird and Miles clips. I find the insight into your learning process back then particularly interesting. Motherlode said: Now go to the piano and play ii-V I, in the key of [C] very slowly. On ...

I wish Strachs's analysis was still at the link he provided above. I'd like to check it out again.

Great! I get it - all of it!

Very nice. Thanks for indulging my questions.

I thought *I* was going to get paid, for asking clarifying questions and acting as "advisory editor", LOL!

Let's get together, and we'll go down to the payment office together...

Hi ML, It's really great how much information you have generated and shared to date. Thanks. So, this is a very good example. To find this usage of the scale in this context (meaning with these chords) in an actual composition is very interesting. I wonder if we might consider the BbLyd Dim on the l...

It's not a bad video, really. Some interesting music towards the middle and end.

Lol, well excuse me for being far too verbose. What I should have said, maybe, is:

Yes, it IS tonal gravity. *Horizontal* Tonal Gravity!

A related idea: Take any of our Vertical Tonal Gravity as we have been thinking of it (say in F Lydian) and put it over a C Major chord or A minor. Voila!
