Hi Tony

Here's blue bossa.

Talk to you soon

I recently had a lesson with a student where we focused on playing in modal settings. One key point I always emphasize is the value of incorporating dominant bebop harmony, even within a modal framework. While understanding modes is, of course, essential, embellishing them with dominant bebop vocabulary adds depth and character to modal playing—something that can be heard in the improvisation of the jazz greats.

This video I introduced a new concept - approach note.

First, we practice the third sequence, then we add a chromatic approach note below the target note.

You know what, to be very frank and mildly funny, the big boys and girls can play good 2 5 1 voicings.

Well rounded players can do all this stuff. You can tell how well rounded a player is by listening to them play a standard and comp. For whatever that is worth. I imagine if you are a blue grass vibe player and that's all you care about then you're not worrie about this etude. But if you want to be a decent jazz player this stuff I think is important.
