Practicing improv with Pentatonic scales on Green Dolphin Street -V

ed saindon 2 October 2014

Practicing improv (using Pentatonic scales) on Green Dolphin Street today before a class at Berklee. It's good to play on piano in order to hear how the scales and colors sound over the chord. Favorite pianists that use Pentatonics so well include Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Mulgrew Miller, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Kirkland and Dave Kikoski. When I get a chance, I'll post a sheet on googledocs that lists which Pentatonics I'm using for the changes. Ed

Bobby Hutcherson solo transcription from "Enjoy the View"

rogersvibes 1 October 2014

Hi Everyone,

Here's a real study in simplicity. This is from Hutcherson's latest album on Blue Note with Joey DeFrancesco, David Sanborn, and Billy Hart. The tune is a blues by Joey titled "Don Is". I believe the album is on Spotify, but I encourage everyone to buy it! It's really great to hear Bobby still playing after all these years.
