This made my day! I’ve noticed that Charlie Parker rarely plays the B note on the G7 except in the last turnaround before the top

Very glad we could do that! :)

That's an Interesting Observation.

This is brilliant, thank you very much. There's so much here to chew on ... and delivered in a way that it can actually be chewed on 😊 "Bb, not Bb" definitely enters the jazz pedagogy canon. Your vocabulary seems gigantic. Even the good material tends to skip the roots and evolution piece, and here you tie up the whole river that runs through it. Anyway, sincere thanks again.

You are very welcome!

Glad I’m not alone! In Bb, treat the G7 with Bb like a blues tone and go with Bb Ionian. I’ve experimented with Eb Lydian and F Mixolydian ( like an Oscar V7 pedal over the A section. Thanks for posting and you sound great.

At 2:45 I misspoke. I meant to say Bud Powell has a lot of cool rhythm changes tunes in Eb, not Ab!

Thanks for the clarification Davy! Happy 2023!

“Bb and not Bb”, I love that man!! I’ve noticed in a diatonic sense, not using the 4th degree then using the fourth degree gives a similar tension and resolve. This was such a great watch, thank you so much for this contribution! You’ve made a fan!!!! And thanks JGT
