I fell in love with this kind of music as a young and mostly musically illiterate listener. It must have made some intuitive sense to me, or I wouldn’t have listened so persistently, but even now, something like Nefertiti can seem like black magic when I try to pick it out by ear. This really helped pinpoint what I must have been picking up on some level and this is a great framework for exploring in greater depth, but also in a way just adds to the appreciation of the unfathomable genius of these musicians. Sincere thanks.

Very well presented intriguing concepts! Thank you Alex. So many possibilities again to keep an arrangement interesting and "spicy". The use of "AI" tools will increase a lot in all areas. We'll see what we gain and what we loose.

I see that you and I have a similar harmonic concept; but I base it not on the work of Ron Miller, but on the Soviet musicologist Yuzef Kon; who, in the context of decomposition of functionality, proposed a mathematical algorithm for an alternative analysis of the relationships of tensions and relaxations in chord progressions in the music of A. Schoenberg and Alban Berg based on three parameters: chord saturation (interval structure), chord position, chord register (1967).

Oh I’m not sure if I have read that persons work! I’ll check it out, as I’ve read quite a lot on Schoenberg 😄

Hey Alex, I've been thinking about understanding jazz harmony better and trying to use it more in my music, and your video pops up. Nice one!

@gilevansinsideout Ай бұрын

Hey Tom! Oh cool, yeah I thought someone like you might enjoy this different look at harmony

Great video (as always)! Could you follow this up with more on chord progressions as they relate to reharmonization? I sometimes pick chords for color and have a hard time making them work functionally in a progression. I'd love to hear your insight on this topic!

@gilevansinsideout Ай бұрын

Oh yep. That sounds like a good idea. Can you expand on what you mean by ‘making them work functionally’? As usually when you’ve selected a new chord it tends to fit within the progression already.

@@gilevansinsideout, I'll try. As a singer and player of other melodic instruments, I'm particularly interested in how a melody note interacts with the underlying harmony of the moment. You can convey so many different emotions! Sometimes, to punctuate a word in the lyrics, I choose a chord *only* be the emotional impact that I feel it has in relation to the melody notes of the moment. This can get me into trouble, because I wasn't actually looking at the "function" of the chord in tonal Western music. There's one particular jazz reharmonization I've been struggling with. My last pass at it got some great color at the appropriate moments, but when I showed it to a few jazz musicians, they weren't convinced it worked. I clearly need to rework it again, but I'm at a loss for where to begin this time.

Mmm sounds interesting. A lot of the progressions in Wayne’s and herbies music don’t ‘work’ either. So it might be a case of setting up a more modern sound or context from the start of the tune. Like I usually mention in my harmonising videos and you say in your comment , the bass line is important! Consider the interval to the melody and ‘melody’ of the bass
