The letter A is tricky to notate due to its freely interpreted approach. Those quirky keyboard voicings are given merely as a point of reference, so don't stick to the chart too literally. The letter B is harmonically very loose, but it's played in strict funk groove. Focus on the tones rather than the actual tonalities and dive into the groove! :) Ville   click here to display PDF in a new window    EdByrne   ed@byrnejazz.com   www.byrnejazz.com Re:Bitches Brew by Miles Davis submitted: 2008/11/17 16:49:22 revised: 2008/11/17 16:49:22 Excellent work, Ville. These could easily comprise a great book. Ed  HalfNelson Re:Bitches Brew by Miles Davis submitted: 2010/07/30 13:25:19 revised: 2010/07/30 13:25:19 The music on Bitches Brew is generally a chromatic improvisation, which is based on a scarce theme or a repeating bass figure. It doesn't employ a functional harmony or strict modal improvisation, but lays a great emphasis on the the sounds, collective improvisation and straight 8th grooves. :) Ville Log in to Post or Reply
