Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

February 5, 2010 | Fresh Material for the V7 Chord; Django's Castle

Mel Bay's February/March MandolinSessions columns are up, and this month's Jazz Mandology entry takes some of the material we've been introducing on the construction of the Augmented 11th (or Lydian Dominant) scale. We bring it home by putting into context with a classic Django Rheinhardt tune, "Django's Castle."

We hope this entices you into digging deeper into the sonic wealth of this sequence of notes. If you recall, we introduced a whole new way of getting friendly with this scale in our most recent installment, Augmented 11th FFcP in our FFcP Studies free PDF online downloads. Even if you don't want to mess with the theory, you can still appreciate the coolness of this lush vocabulary.
