One by Gary Burton & Ahmad Jamal (1981)

Ahmad Jamal and Gary Burton play a tune called "One", not the one from "A Chorus Line."
This is from the early eighties at a foreign jazz festival. I'm not sure if it's Montreux. This tune has an African flavor to it. I have the LP from which this performance is taken. Jamal and Burton have never worked together before and, to my knowledge hadn't worked together since.

The Modes in Detail - Phrygian

The phrygian scale is pretty cool because it has a minor 2nd between the root and the second scale degree. That gives it a very exotic sound!

Chinese translation for Chinese student.

如果拿Phrygian 音階和大調(major)音階來比較,Phrygian音階多了降2降3降6降7音。

在第一個音和第二個音中間是個半音,也因為這樣聽起來非常特別。

這個C為開頭音的Phrygian順階和弦,第一個和弦為Cminor 第二個和弦為Dbmajor

你可以聽到這樣的聲響在很多中東音樂、猶太音樂中等。

演奏大調音階跟Phrygian音階,比較看看。

通常在小調中會用到Phrygian,但是跟Dorian, Aeolian比,Phrygian最少用到。
