I enjoyed the session. I like your tone on the tenor sax. I’ll have to check and see if you have any recordings. I’m only a guitar player, totally amateur at 78 years old.
This is a great step by step evolution of the the ii7- V7 - !maj7 lick. As one goes through each step of this process, more improvisation possibilities show themselves. I find that In experimenting with this process there is always one lick that resonates with the performer. This then becomes one's milestone lick. Then one can start omitting notes in this milestone lick or preferred eight note or sixteenth note runs. This opens up some interesting rhythmic possibilities. Listening to the different note omission possibilities helps cement the lick in one's head.
This is one of the best tutorials I have come across so far. I have always had a bit of trouble understanding the passing notes and when to use them. Thank you for the lesson!
Greetings from Jazznet Spandau!!!!
Thank you so much Donna, it really made sense to me and gave me some ideas as to doing my own licks. Thank you again!
I have been studying the ii-V-I progression this month. So, this was timely and helpful for me.
Great to hear, John
Thanks Donna...your beautifully simple & lucid approach, makes music learning so fulfilling!
Thank you :)
Very well explained Donna. I struggle with this theory to use on the fly. Practice, practice!

Thanks George - I have videos on my website. Glad to see that you are playing an instrument!

Thank you Hanaba :)
Thank you ;-)
for a dm7 chord.... when you refer to diatonic notes...do you mean ionian scale of dmajor? or do you mean dorian mode notes...no b or # ???
No....in this case, Dorian, but there are other factors involved. You're the 2nd person to ask so that means I'll need to shoot another video.
it suddently turned down a whole tone :o
Is it easy to switch from a Brass instrument to a Woodwind instrument?
I was thinking of switching from the trumpet to the saxophone.
Anything is easy if you put the work in and get guidance from a teacher, not just RUclips videos
