Rodan88 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don’t know, but that’s the exact harmonic progression the singer I worked with the other night implied while scatting over an F blues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberGene Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I know it’s a thread for fun but that joke is so close to the actual reality of mathemat-ization, oversimplification and mass explain-ization of jazz in recent times, it’s the real reason why I stopped listening to jazz. Jazz used to be a great art of intuitive improvisation of selected few masters. But then it became a learned skill of the masses, the equivalent of solving high school math equations. Practice them well enough and you just apply learned patterns. It’s assumed music but is actually the craft of learning and internalizing how to apply modes, scales, licks and whatnot over stock chord progressions with stock voicings. No wonder the audience size is shrinking. End of rant 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a hell of a lot of jazz that predates the "mathematica-tion" of it in recent times, lol. Some of that style is actually still being played, believe it or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yes, he can play an E over a C chord and who cares if he doesn't? Meanwhile, the lady who changes his diapers can sing in Cb and E# simultaneously over Augminished and Demented chords. It will be the best thing ever. 1 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taught this stuff while taking piano lessons. Today I am not the least bit analytical thinking of "modes" and whatever while I play. That stuff became part of my subconscious, and I let my fingers do the thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
