More Information
These two chords provide rich colors that are essential to the palette of intermediate and advanced jazz players. This workshop takes a deep look at the chords and their accompanying scales, examining how each is constructed, why they are constructed that way, and how they may be used to maximal effect. We contrast their sounds within the context of jazz (e.g. when should we choose one rather than the other?), listening to examples of their use. Additional topics include: different types of “outness” and Lydian dominant, the “sister” of the altered sound. This workshop is appropriate for students without prior exposure to the subject, as well as students familiar with melodic minor and diminished harmony who wish to deepen their understanding.
Prerequisites: an understanding of basic theory and the Mixolydian scale.
