This home was made to tease out phrasing ideas on top of the famous Jazz Standards.
The themes and concepts chosen in this first stage aim at applying phrasing in II V I.
It is worth noting that in these cases the II and the I communicate within the same tonal center, that is; when you play the I scale it sounds on the II and vice versa.
In the case of the dominant V degree, the thing can progress in countless ways because it is therefore a tension chord; he will flirt with symmetries Dom Dim / Diminutas / Scales of the Melodic Minor Harmonic and Harmonic Minor / Hexaphonic field and Tritone Overlays.
There really are thousands of situations when we encounter a dominant chord, I explored some of those forms in these phrasings.
It's very easy to feel this in the sound when you're turned on listening carefully to the dominant V degree of phrasing created for II V I.
Now let's break down a sequence of phrases in the themes, Tune Up by Miles Davis and Impressions by Coltrane and then a personal concept that mixes the II VI with two preparation chords, one in the natural IV degree and the other in the VII degree of the Harmonic field Minor Harmonic.
Let's study.
