Although saxophonist m: Noah Preminger titled his disc Haymaker, a term denoting a wildly unorthodox punch thrown by a boxer, his third release as a leader (second for Palmetto) is anything but undisciplined. Following Before The Rain (Palmetto, 2011), he reorganizes his quartet and reunites with guitarist m: Ben Monder from debut sextet session Dry Bridge Road (Nowt Records, 2008). The pair share an affinity for disciplined music making and the gifts of musical sprezzatura and a pure tone...

In terms of CD releases, pianist Satoko Fujii passed the bandleader baton to her husband, trumpeter m: Natsuki Tamura, in 2012, resulting in two exceptional albums on the Libra Records label: the trumpet/piano duo outing, Muku, and Forever, from Tamura's European folk music-flavored Gato Libre group. For the always prolific Fujii, a year without a release under her leadership is an oddity. The year 2013 is lining up differently, however, with the debut of the Satoko Fujii New Trio's Spring Storm and, now, from her Satoko Fujii Ma-Do Quartet, Time Stands Still...

Thought I'd share this video, showing a classic way of playing over a 2-5-1 in C major :)

2-5-1 jazz guitar lick

foot is tapping on 2 and 4..........

Progression: II Dm7 I G7 I Cmaj7 I Cmaj7 II

The lick starts out by outlining a D minor 7th arpeggio:

Dmin7 arpeggio = d f a c

Then goes on to pick a few tasty notes out of the G diminished 1/2-1 tone scale:

G diminished 1/2-1 tone scale = G Ab Bb B C# D E F (G)

Ending with a line that's based around a C major 7th arpeggio:

Cmaj7 arpeggio = c e g b

Hope you'll enjoy this!!

You can try playing around with it on this 2-5-1 practice backing track in C:

2-5-1 bossa style backing track in C major

Or how about transposing it to Bb and trying it out on this track:

2-5-1 bossa style jazz practice backing track in Bb major


Have fun!!! ]]> Music Theory and Analysis meritonemusic http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=56271 http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=56270&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 16:57:08 GMT Is it just on my end or is this site slow as molasses in November?
