Ok. The downloads seem to be working again. So back to the music. Btw, how long does divshare keep the files active?

Hi Steve, I was trying to download the latest examples posted on this page. No luck, though

Hmm...the divshare site seems to be down? I keep getting a "404-Not found" error message when I click on the "download original"link. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi Dave, Hope you'll have more time to send in additional corrections for Caravan.

Hi Dave, Here's the updated score with examples 1-13. Dave Ferris.Caravan 1-13

I tried to double check the notes I played into Finale with my midi keyboard while reading from your original score. Yes, Finale had a tendency to output a lot of F flats, C flats, and double flats which I had to correct manually from what you originally wrote out. (I guess I didn't check well enough) Please let me know the changes so that I can put them in. I'll also include 11 to 13.

Here's Dave Ferris' 10 examples of his block harmonization of the tune Caravan which I inputted into Finale. This is a pdf format of the Finale score. Thanks Dave! Dave Ferris. Caravan Ex. 1-10

I've always been amazed by the concept of playing block chords. Dave has just shown that there are so many ways of doing it. So how does one start practicing all these so that it comes naturally? (I know....years and years of practice!!) I cannot imagine practicing all these voicing in all 12 keys!!

And my head's spinning!! Dave, I've downloaded both pdf's and transcribed them over to Finale so that it'd be easier for me to "read" and "hear" playback through Finale. I've got a couple of weeks ahead to study all these....it just goes to show that you can really do anything in music and make it sound great! I'm just amazed at how you've come up with so many variations of the theme! Do you have all these voicings under your fingers so that you can play them so effortlessly? Vic

Thanks Dave! You're awesome...

Hi Dave, Two examples I really love of parallel harmony is what Michel Camilo did with "Caravan". He played this tune with Anthony Jackson on bass and Dave Weckl on drums. Another great example is Billy Taylor's solo jazz piano rendition of the Christmas carol "Deck The Halls..." If you've heard these examples, maybe you can give me some insights on the voicings these artists used.

Hi guys, What an awesome thread!! The music you guys have shared is truly amazing! I have a question: When you decide to harmonize a melodic segment with parallel harmony, what RH voicings do you prefer to use? And how do you work out the LH bassline with those harmonies? Thanks, Vic

My pleasure! Thanks again, and waiting for Vol. 2

Here's a summary of all the reharm examples posted so far (13 pages ....). This thread is awesome, awesome, awesome and I thought I'd contribute by compiling this summary. For sure, I will download all the examples and try to learn from them. This should keep me busy for the next 10 years!!!

This is an awesome thread...already 12 pages and growing!!! To the great pianists who have shared audio samples of their work, could you post a summary of all the music you have posted for download in this thread? It's kinda difficult to search for music in 12 pages. Anyway, all the music has been amazing and awesome so far...and for us of lesser abilities....a gold mine of harmonic ideas to consider in the coming years!!!! Vic
