I was playing saxophone with my band the other day and I applied like 25% of the concepts you gave here and it just expanded my solos greatly. Piano player was impressed. Those diminished scales and pentatonic and alt chord arpeggios just brought it to another level. Usually I just railroad through with D ionian. Thanks again

I am preparing for a rehearsal with a group and would like to improvise. I play a soprano sax in Bb, so I guess I shall have to improvise over an E major scale with four sharps (a little troublesome on a sax). Would you have a suggestions to a good and somewhat simple scale to use? I am not a very good improviser, but played classical oboe for nearly forty years, so my technique is ok. All the best, Lars

Will have to read what you got on the sheet. Oh Hmm... That 4 minor is the F#s melodic minor so I can play also the diminished on the 4 minor! Discovered a very nice playing young italian guitarist that played this with Al Dimeola .... Matteo Mancuso ... most players in the genre dont use his pick technique. More common in classical

Everyone used the diminished, certainly by the 19th century. You can also see, in Chopin among others, what jazz musicians think of as Barry Harris movements to vary a major chord (alternating inversions of maj 6ths and diminished).

Peter, adding to what you commented, there are many who don't have any idea what a profound influence some of the earlier music had on jazz, and then what brilliant things the jazzers did with it. Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Lizst, Debussy, Scriabin, and believe it or not, John Philip Sousa all had a great influence. Scott Joplin, took the form for his Ragtime pieces from Sousa's marches. And let's not forget the great master, J. S. Bach, who had an incalculable influence. Bach's brilliance even made it all the way to Keith Jarrett.
