🎷Pocket Practice Idea No. 1 - The Serpent’s Tooth

Video made in partnership with @windandbrassworld.
Let's start by taking the first two bars of the Miles Davis 1956 composition, The Serpent’s Tooth, and see what we can do with it!

OK, I'll be the pernickety geek - composed 1953. Famous because Bird played tenor on the Prestige recording.

This takes me back to the old days of youtube; except for the amazing production quality. Really great job!

Fabulous - you wont recall me Dave, but we met a few years back when the Darius Brubeck Quartet headlined the Lowestoft Jazz Festival - Im the guy who unwittingly jumped the queue for you to sign the CD. Im still a raw player, 3 years in - this is such a great diatonic aid across the "natural" seven!
