Trends in my lifetime have already gone from Cole Porter, Dylan, Motown, British invasion, Blues, etc to rap. So I keep looking for the next thing. That may seem a shade worrisome, but it is why I keep coming around to the blogs.</I><BR/><BR/>Uncanny, Dave, I can hear those fills as you describe them. Weird effect translating music from several perspectives all at once, and from symbols to language....<BR/><BR/>So we all hear something unique when we experience a harmony, or accidental, eh? No doubt.<BR/><BR/>This makes me think of Mariachi bands on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Usually the full string section with brass... telling the whole story as they go. Is this a really good argument for more orchestration of songs? and a case for no less than five piece groups? <BR/><BR/>Dave you have a much in your arsenal of knowledge. Can you produce a seventh using on the three perfectly tuned notes in the triad? pd/mpwMooPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242994505170821020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-14461559010699262932008-04-24T12:49:00.000-04:002008-04-24T12:49:00.000-04:00I'm glad you like it.

But, depending on the environment, it's also "let the bass fill in". First time I started thinking about this, it was through David Grisman. He's a mandolin guy, so four notes. If he's playing an eleventh chord, and being a jazz guy, he's likely to play an eleventh, he can at max get four of six notes. A11 being A C# E G B D, he can play a G6 (G B D E) or the like and be sure, between the rest of the band, that the full chord is represented. <BR/><BR/>But jazzers also use algebra chords (letter <I>and</I> numbers!) to represent "scales", allowing different notes in the higher octave than are available in the lower octave, and while a hint of that might show up in the accompaniment, you don't need it all. Freddie Green really played no more than three notes at a time. Why do you need to play all six?Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204188024832829733.post-41020019696187533192008-04-17T16:58:00.000-04:002008-04-17T16:58:00.000-04:00Hi SansI came by and looked in, and learned someth...Hi Sans<BR/>I came by and looked in, and learned something new.<BR/>I also noticed your phrase "let the mind fill in." Is that like persistent vision, a secondary use of the various halves of others' brains?<BR/><BR/>Like, sometimes I step into the future by stepping into the past. <BR/>Enjoyed this, and many other posts, can you tell? <BR/>Patrick DarnellMooPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242994505170821020noreply@blogger.com
