Members motherlode Posted March 15, 2005 Members Share Posted March 15, 2005 In, I believe, 1944 Bird and Diz made a recording of "Groovin' High" in Eb...on Bird's 3rd chorus he plyed a phrase that would make Erik Satie blush...the changes are Eb for two bars , D7 for two bars then back to Eb for two bars, etc....anyway, Bird plays on the first Eb : F# G Bb D F Eb D C Bb Ab G F Eb Bb C# (tied over) D7: C# (2 beats) G# B A G F# A E A C Eb D Bb (tied over) Eb: Bb...etc. The raw beauty and logic of what Bird played on that D7 made liars of a whole generations of musicians AND theorist alike (that dom 7th schoolby {censored}), all the way back to Bach !! Play it slowly and really listen...and hopefully aquire insight into the mysteries of the universe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
