Yes, but improvise over "The Girl From Ipanema" is a bit tricky, at least for beginners [well, like in most of bossa novas :-)) ]. "Fly me to the moon" is a good example of II-V-I series, quite close to "Autumn leaves"
@PedroSilvanoGunther2 жыл бұрын
Autumn Leaves seems to be the number one in everybody’s list. So I learnt it. In Gm. The first jam I jumped in they were playing it in Em. On the saxophone it is trickier than on the guitar (to change keys). So, everytime I talk about Autumn Leaves to other beginners, like me, I tell them to learn at least in these two keys. That’s the beauty of jazz. There’s always something challenging you. Ain’t that so? Lol…

Surprised there are no blues forms, and no rhythm changes on your list. I'd give a strong vote for Billie's Bounce (blues with common jazz sub's) and something like Anthropology or Oleo to make sure to have 12-bar blues and rhythm changes under one's belt. Two suggestions for viewers: 1) the greater value in shedding Autumn Leaves in all 12 keys is that it includes all of the chords in the diatonic sequence of a key, emphasizing, as you point out, the relative major-minor areas - which arms you to play just about any tune more easily; 2) the example changes you provide are "real-book-ified" - that is, frequently melodically incorrect and harmonically watered down, and don't really capture the harmonic colors of the originals. It's not about being an originalist or harmonic fetishist, but it's helpful to know the difference between a bittersweet diminished major seventh chord and it's commonly substituted flavorless ii-V combinations. BTW, major chords are conventionally notated with UPPER case Roman numerals, (minor and diminished chords with lower case).

4:31 Although I don't always use it in this respect, my first thought would be to use it for the simple fact that it is the third chord with a Major third because of its minor relative existence in the Major key in the harmonic minor. Yes, but that would not explain what a Major third is doing in this chord. If relative key of F Major, then you are saying there is a direct correlation between the half diminished Locrian chord and the dominant Mixolydian chord through the harmonic minor. This is most intriguing, because in the diatonic sense the tritone is the only different note, and yet in either case is only a half step apart. In the key of (C) the (B) is the five of (E:) In either case the minor third would have to be raised a half step. The tritone is being raised in the key of F Major in the E half diminished chord.

I'm quite surprised that Watermelon Man is not on the list. It's very well known and liked, the main theme is easily played and you can improvise over the whole song with a couple of tones without paying attention to the accords played along. And It's also the second song I ever learned on the Sax. However, I'm still in a Novice state spending much more time on reading notes and playing respectable than improvising. So maybe I miss here something important a more experienced player could light me up about.

Good list. Nice harmonic details of each tune - very helpful. However, if this list is for beginners then some comments for future (not as a slam but as hopefully helpful): tell people if a tune is a vocal song (i.e.: just friends) and if not (i.e.: so what). Also, only play the melody and no chord substitutions/melody embellishments. That is not helpful in getting the melody across. For instance, if playing the melody of ‘just friends’ then say it is a vocal tune, to check out vocalists and how they interpret the melody and just play the melody (“..just friends… lovers no more….” -- you get the idea). Playing around the melody of a tune that you are trying to introduce makes it difficult to pick out (especially for someone who has never heard it) what really is the melody and what is added. Again, this is meant as not criticism but a reminder to keep it simple for the audience who will be watching this (not Berkee grads but beginners). Keep up the good work!
