I shared a recording of this tune a couple of months ago. At that time, I just played the melody down a couple of times. Since then, I’ve been working on it quite a bit and want to share where I am with it.
As always in a Tune Talk, I’ll discuss the structure and the harmonies, and talk about possibilities for improvisation. You may remember that this tune is in 7/4 meter. Part of my reason for writing it was to challenge myself to improve my playing in odd meters. That’s complicated enough in itself, but then, the harmonies of this tune are also quite challenging. I’ll talk about that, too.
This is Part 1, and I’ll make Part 2 in a few days. I think I’ve finally settled on a workable arrangement, and I want to present that in a separate video.
I hope you enjoy it!
