Here is a pretty extensive discography of Joe Locke recordings. Some are hard to get a hand on, but this will give everyone here a pretty good basis of getting stuff by Joe Locke.
I'll try to post amazon links to the records I can find there for everyone to check out.
Chris is a monster sax player. Played with Maynard Ferfuson and Jill Scott just to name 2 groups. He's a Philly guy and is probably the best young tenor around here.
He'll talk Wed. about playing over dominant chords and how he approaches them. It's based on the lesson I have up here on Dominant Chords, the lesson is linked under 'Check this out'.
Hopefully if this is after the Chris masterclass there will be a recording of it. If you don't see one, then email tony at tony@tonymiceli.com and check if there is one.
Here are 2 lessons for dominant chords.
Any jazz musician has been tripped up by the bridge of Rhythm Changes, the 4 dominant chords. It's easy to fake your way through the bridge and difficult to weave your way through the bridge.
Make sure you study dominant chords and scales and ways of getting through them!
I simply grouped to lessons that would be in two different places here for you to check out.
Work hard on the modes. They are the foundation of the line!!
Locrian the crazy scale! The 7th scale degree of the major scale.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese translation for Chinese students
如果拿Locrian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Locrian音階多了降2降3降5降6降7音。
因為沒有完全五度（根音跟五音中間），所以聲響上沒有被解決的感覺。
單單只打這個音階覺得沒有被解決，所以通常用在minor7b5- dominant7b9,
例如Cminor7b5- Fdominant7b9 - Bbminor7
Locrian 是比較難的音階，可以練習在不同調式之間轉換，熟悉不同調式音階的聲音。
Aolian the 6th scale degree of the major scale.
Chinese translation for Chinese students.
Aeolian是大調音階降3,降6,降7
在爵士樂中，比Phrygian多，比Dorian用的少。
Aeolian和Dorian的不同是Dorian沒有降6音, Phrygian多了降2音,
I have only been playing vibes for about a year. Before I started playing the vibes, I thought you just hit the vibes with the mallets and use the pedal to let it ring out or stop the sound. Since then I have learned about so many different playing techniques that I would never have imagined. For one thing, I never realized you could actually play the vibes with the pedal up.
Other techniques that I learned about are:
Mallet Dampening
Pitchbending
Hand Tremolo
Bowing
Echo emulation (ala Piper)
Spider Egg Sacks (or plastic bags) over resonators
Beautiful!!!
First and foremost you have to master the Open and Closed Voicings Excercise. You should spend months on this exercise! Click on this link and scroll down to open and closed voicings: https://www.vibesworkshop.com/book/chords/marie-noëlle/050316
The mixolydian scale is the major scale with a flat 7. It's a very distinct sound, you've heard it all over the place.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Blues 這首曲子都是用到Mixolydian 的聲音。
Latin music 中也很常用到Mixolydian 的聲音。
在爵士樂中，遇到屬和弦(Dominant)會演奏Diminished音階，或是Altered音階，或是不同的音階。
但是也有時候會用到Mixolydian音階。
如果和弦記號有降九音，也不能用到Mixolydian音階。要是九音（Natural 9th）才適用Mixolydian音階。
