Here's what you do with this.
write in the chord names with the alterations.
memorize the voicings.
play them, add rhythm.
start changing the inversions of some of the voicings.
make a solo based off of the chord tones of the voicings on the sheet.
what notes would you stick in between as passing notes?
I think I have a few posts on this on the site. Here's 1 more.
"How My Heart Sings" composed by Earl Zindars and played by pianist Bill Evans on his 1964 recording titled the same name. Bill and Earl were good friends and Bill played quite a few songs composed by Earl. I first learned this song way back when I was studying with Gary Burton in the 70s. It was played quite a lot around Berklee back then. There's another great version from pianist Mulgrew Miller on the recording Young At Heart from drummer Tony Williams. My fantastic student/vibist Lucas Amorim and I have been working on this song in the past few lessons.
Cole Porter’s “I Love You” - using a variety of improv techniques from my improv series The Complete Guide To Improvisation (available from Amazon, www:edsaindon.com and the Berklee College of Music bookstore in Boston). I used this song in Volume Two in the Four Note Grouping chapter. I listed the groupings used for each chord and wrote out a solo based upon the concept. For copyright reasons I named the song “I Loathe You”.
Here´s the 2nd Video i made for the RZ Percussion Group.
