A juicy chord you NEED to know

[@alexthompson6529]

Lovely quick bit of advice, more of these please!

[@elliotkozary]

I’m glad you liked it, there’s more to come soon!

[@Buckleupbucko]

This man is going thru music school and giving us free game, we don’t even have to fight for a practice room 😂

[@elliotkozary]

Thankyou, I’m glad you appreciate it!

#11, wants to resolve up to the 5 as it does in most examples here. IV7#11 fits in perfectly in melodic minor, and II-V7#11 tends to use the melodic minor of the II. True b5s are pretty rare, and don't fit into most keys, but one can use them in minor. Note the 3 and b5 of the dominant both want to resolve inward by half steps to the root of the tonic chord. Crunchy.

[@elliotkozary]

This is very very true, I tend to think of 7#11’s as having the 13 in them and 7b5’s as having just the 3rd b5th and 7th in them but they’re both really similar so I guess it’s whatever floats your boat kinda 😂

[@parkerchace]

Youre a real talent.

[@elliotkozary]

Thankyou!

So beautiful man😭 you should do a video of the mu chord. I use them all the time for everything

[@elliotkozary]

Same!!! Mu chords are fantastic!

[@jakisczowieg3463]

It's so characteristic that I recognized it immediately. My favorite song using it is definitely Duke Ellington's Take The A Train.

[@elliotkozary]

Of course!! That a perfect example, thankyou!

[@ezrac704]

I think it's also important to mention the movement that the chord implies. The b5 wants to move up to the 5, and that's what happens in most of the examples you showed. It seems like bill evans really liked to move the 5 of dominant chords around in that way, I know that he would also go from #5 to 6

[@elliotkozary]

That’s very true, bill Evan’s is fantastic at inner voice leading and this chord definitely opens itself to nice voice movement

[@Donald666]

Yes yes for referencing Arthur verocai ! So good

[@shaniab06]

that chord progression was beautiful/satisfying!!! i have a limited knowledge of jazz music but I'm very familiar with a few artists and styles. Esperanza Spalding likes to combine Latin American jazz styles and bossa grooves in her music. But her songs "Precious" and maybe "I Know You Know" (??) use the dom7b5 chord. You should check her music out if you haven't tho!

[@elliotkozary]

Esperanza Spaulding is AMAZING! I’ll listen back to precious and I know you to find the chord. Thanks for listing them!

[@shaniab06]

@@elliotkozary she is!!! I'm gonna go down a esperanza rabbit hole again now 😂 I'm trying figure out "IKYK" (i VAGUELY remember the bassline) and I'm sure the chord progression is: A7 (b5), D7 b5, Gm7 ( Gm11 9b??), and back to D7b5 for the intro at least. I struggle with hearing altered chords by ear so I could be a little off!

[@handdancin]

i think most people call those #11's

[@elliotkozary]

It’s true, you can think of it as a #11 but it depends on the context I guess

[@pieterzegers7788]

Love to voice tritone subs this way, keeps the original root in!

[@elliotkozary]

That’s so true! Honestly I use this voicing for a bunch and tritone subs is definitely one of them

[@ArgoBeats]

Thanks man, please let us see the notes you are playing.

[@elliotkozary]

I’ll make sure to do that for next time

[@arlandsc8316]

Dillalude #2 - Robert Glasper has a really nice E9b5-Ebm11 progression :-))

[@elliotkozary]

First to add a song to the list goes to you Arland 😂

[@cheeseaddict]

Hey man! Love your videos, do you also cover Barry Harris' method? Cause I believe this could also be referred to as "Playing with your brother and sister", correct me if I'm wrong!

[@elliotkozary]

I have looked at Barry Harris a little bit, but I’ll definitely have to check it out more to make a video on it

[@dongxiaoyang]

Monk！

[@elliotkozary]

It’s true, monk did use this voicing a lot

[@oels6160]

not to be confused with #11

[@elliotkozary]

True, they are quite similar but slightly different
