A Long Look At The Blues (Part 2)

by Tim Price

By now Part 1 should be getting settled into your ears and fingers. On Part 2… we are going to take three sections of Charlie Parker's solo on "Buzzy" and open it up through the keys.

I chose...

The first four bars of his last chorus on "Buzzy" via four bar phrases through twelve keys.
The second four bars of his last chorus on "Buzzy" via four bar phrases through twelve keys.
The last four bars of his first chorus on "Buzzy" via four bar phrases through twelve keys.

Listen... to the phrase shape through the four bars. Bird was a perfect phraser. Beautiful! Listen to the note choice, rhythmic twists, tension and release. This is the ultimate in blues playing! It doesn't get better than this. It's nasty and dirty low-down and hip all at once. Listen how these three phrases work.

Now… memorize, sing, and study it again and again, as to get it internalized into your subconscious mind/ear.

I hope this opened up your private playing
