Well, not so much tunes lately but more broad things. Like Coltrane changes, and trying to apply them over standards. Also working on makeing my blues into something more harmonically sophisticated. I have been working on playing over the changes to "Nefertiti" in the past couple days.
I love Wayne's use of the sharp 11th. I've been using it some in my own writing. You probably know this already, but especially on a tune like "Nefertiti", the melody can reveal so much about the harmony. His phrasing of the melody is very interesting. This is one of those tunes where you definately want to go for the sound.saxymanzach said:...I have been working on playing over the changes to "Nefertiti" in the past couple days.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the melody. I have really been trying to capture my inner Miles with this one, keeping it simple and still trying to be interesting harmonically.BlueNote said:I love Wayne's use of the sharp 11th.

Big Band music...just had my first gig with the group yesterday. I've only had the music a couple of weeks. Pretty challenging for a weekend warrior like me!

The Reed 2 Book to "The Pajama Game". Most of the book is clarinet. 97.23% easy. 2.77% finger-busting clarinet stuff.

Cool topic, good ideas for tunes to work on here.
I've been trying to get used to the Tony Williams tune "Pee Wee," which is an amazing tune that's really hard for me to internalize. The chords are incredibly beautiful and very unusual, hard to get the ears around.
Also Wayne Shorter's tunes "Fall" and "Pinocchio." Similar situation, beautiful harmony that's very hard to hear and understand, especially on Pinocchio.
I also recently spent a long time on "Punjab" and "Inner Urge" by Joe Henderson. Genius.

Laura. I've been trying to make the lyrics come through. Haunting tune, really.
Oleo, trying to clean up my sense of meter/time with the metronome set at 40BPM, hitting only "1" [actually 160 BPM].
