Just fantastic Alex. When you have something to really think about then you have "Something to Live For". 🎼😎🎹 Thanks a million!
Thanks Tom!
These dives on how different arrangers approach similar situations are very valuable! Thanks Alex!
My pleasure!
Fantástic
great video! i'd love one on soft chords if you do decide to make it :). i'm sure it's a lot of work to put this together, thanks again!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you so much
You are welcome!
As always, a great video! Thanks!
Thanks Fredrik. A new one is dropping tomorrow!
Don't Git Sassy! Such a good chart. Great video man!
Thanks Ben!
Great concepts! And also great ear for such a detailed transcriptions! 10/10
Glad you liked it!
Great video! I know this channel is dedicated to Gil Evans (as one can tell from the name) but I'd love to see you cover some of the other arrangers in this video more in-depth!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind.
Bravo........
Thank you for yet again another great video. I was wondering if you could go into the arranged accompaniment part of writing, specifically for a solo section? Perhaps some favorite examples and tips.
Would really appreciate it as Im sure others will to and maybe it would serve as a good video idea. Appreciate your work!
Great suggestion! I love getting idea for videos, thank you.
This video is awesome
Thanks!
👍
Great video! I have a question: How do arrangers decide where to place the extensions (upper voice, middle voice etc.) and what notes to double?
Hi Adrian, good question thank you. The extensions can go anywhere, but tend to be above the 3rd & 7th. Its easier to add dissonances on top of a solid foundation. ie. bottom to top C9+. 1,b7,3,9,b13. You often find a 9th in between the 7th and 3rd in the trombones/saxes as well. eg. C13b9. 1,b7,b9,3,13
@@gilevansinsideout Thanks so much :)
all of them are outstanding. the first has no real scale tho
What do you mean by no real scale? Do you mean 1/2 whole or something like that?
@@gilevansinsideout yes every other dom7 sound is scale based but jil evans Db13#11 has a 9 and a b9. no scale comes to mind for that chord
Oh yep. Thanks for explaining. But of course, not every chord needs a corresponding scale. But I'm sure you know that.
@@gilevansinsideout: I feel with sandalero, I also noticed the simultaneous 9 and b9 immediately. Many common bigband chords can normally be derived from a scale. This is what we usually see in most cases. It took me a while to accept, that Gil Evans goes beyond that....
Great topic, Alex!
....correction: Gil uses simultaneous 9 and #9 in his Db7!
