Bill Evans Trio in Amsterdam - Very Early

[DevinJMorrison]

You can tell Bill Evans was inspired by Maurice Ravel.

Anyone know some tricks to soloing on this. The tonal center change every 3 bars.

[theorygeek00]

Always, always, always craft your solo around arpeggios, especially when there's an ambiguous tonal center. Then, use neighbor notes when changing the harmony. Finally incorporate passing tones.

[lidesnowi]

That's a good start!

[plimbuff]

@theorygeek00, there is a lot more to soloing than just arpeggios.

I think your advice of ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS using arpeggios is VERY BAD advice. It will make your solo's lack variety.

1)"Block chords" will provide a level of depth that can't be matched.

2) Using "Motifs" will provide context.

3) Using right hand "octaves" during a solo will dramatically increase the power of your notes.

Arpeggios are great, but it's a TERRIBLE idea to "ALWAYS, ALWAYS" use them.

[DualThunder]

@plimbuff disagree with the first one. i think chords and arpeggios/broken chords are no better than eachother. Theyre just two different means to acquire particular textures. you can get incredible harmonic nuances via arpeggios rather than using block chords.

[plimbuff]

@DualThunder, perhaps you're confusing me with someone else.

I never said that block chords are "better" than arpeggios. I never said anything like that, nor do I believe that.

My clear point was that I think theorygeek00 gave bad advice when he said to ALWAYS use arpeggios in solos.

My point was that if you ALWAYS used arpeggios, then your solo's would lack variety. I then listed some techniques that would provide a different sound, such as BLOCK CHORDS.

Different, not better.

[plimbuff]

@DualThunder, one more thing.

I noticed that you don't understand what "block chords" are.

"Block Chords" are NOT the same as "chords".

A "chord" is ANY set 3 or more notes played simultaneously".

Where as, BLOCK CHORDS have the melody note on the top, with the other 3 notes positioned below it to create a 4 part harmonized melody, which move in unison with the melody note.

Block chords literally cannot be play as arpeggios, because they rely on a melody note to exist.

study more

[Anoush23]

@theorygeek00 erm, your confusing jazz solos with music of clayderman, hm?

[plimbuff]

@Anoush23, LOL you're SOOO right.

Clayderman is a master at overusing arpeggios.

He's also one of the best reasons to stay away from using tooo many arpeggios.  HAHHA

I completely agree.

[hillybunker]

actually yeah, play roots with some added spice, becuase in this chord progression, the root notes are practically a melody themselves. and then in the b sections, start on b and go up chrormaticaly.

[ghostjazz]

コメントありがとうございます！

このライブアルバム、初出はブートレグだったと思いましたが

その割には音質が良いのでアップしてみた次第です。

本音を言えばエバンスなら有名なリバーサイドやヴァーヴの諸作か­ら選んでアップしたいのですが、

ことごとく公開拒否されてしまうので已むを得なかったという事情­もあります（苦笑）

[passjay]
