Hi, Sax player here and I love your channel! Just wanted to mention that the Gb7 should have an Fb in the scales last note instead of the major 7 if I read it correctly. Thanks for the great content!
Wonderful, thank you so much. First video I’ve seen of yours and I could tell immediately you’re truly great! I sent it to a couple friends already. Very good mnemonic way of thinking and connections you’re demonstrating in the music, and very helpful for me as I’m gonna start learning this tune asap, which this helped push me towards. Love the ending! I’m subscribed and I’ll push that bell thing too! You rule.
You really have to look into the history of Bebop or Modern Jazz. Charlie. Although not much harmonically there to show either person, Charlie Parker was more prolific as a song writer at the time of its recording. The same goes for Moose the Mooch, whom Parker knew out in California.
The rhythm is the same in either artist’s song. That rhythm was decided on by Dizzy, that mew concept. Look at the melody line. I’ll give you that Miles wrote Little Willie Leaps but not that he wrote Donna Lee.
@@fleet4fingers to me Bird's heads are way more intricate, where as Miles's are more like, take the obvious thing and pervert it somehow. Try playing the first phrase of Donna Lee but start it on beat 1. It seems obvious the idea behind it was to take the most basic way to run down Ab - F7 - Bb7, but you just start it two beats "late". Seems like a thing Miles would do. Bird's quirks are much more subtle
@@fleet4fingers there also isn't the same top line voice leading that's present in all Bird's heads and most of his improvisation. Check out how the bottom and top notes move in a way that draws attention to them, that's a big part of what made Bird Bird.

I guess it's because it's

You know the verminosity is strong when the cat rocks up for a piece of the action.

Great vid, happy days!

I think the rhythm is too simple for Bird. It's much closer in style to Little Willie Leaps than Moose the Mooche.

Doesn't barry say that in bar 7 you go up Ab major and then on bar 8 up Ab7, instead of Ab7 up and down said bars
omit five yeah maybe
Don’t think it matters too much
