John Coltrane- 26-2

[mjazzguitar]

I thought I was good at getting progressions down, but this one took a while.

[mjazzguitar]

the bridge is

Cm7 F7 / Em7 A7 / Dma7 F7 / Bbmaj

Ebm7 / Ab7 / Dbmaj / Gm7 C7

Maybe my changes for Confirmation are different

[tkdmaster3bd]

@mjazzguitar that is right! This is confirmation with the countdown matrix added in.

[andersonedward74]

@mjazzguitar they are the same they are substitution chords trane changes. it will be either major third subs or minor thirds.

frekin Confirmation in coltrane style

[shakabrahtastic]

confirmation 

[MrBerenstain]

@shakabrahtastic that's exactly what i thought when i first heard the intro.

[stralejazzpiano]

@MrBerenstain Intro????

[MrBerenstain]

@stralejazzpiano well not intro per se, but the first couple of seconds of the tune.

[jaimepaullamb]

@shakabrahtastic yeah, but with typical coltrane/giant steps subs on the A sections - the bridge is straight up confirmation. at least he's making no secret of it, considering the first few notes of the head. besides, i'm sure bird's changes were a contrafact anyway.

[shakabrahtastic]

@jaimepaullamb yo listen to it again .... there is a sub on the bridge rite at the start the rest of the bridge is strait up tho

This is SO FUN TO PLAY!

[foolery15]

Is that coltrane kind of stumbling through this piece? Jesus christ...I was pretty sure of this when I played this but this is one of the hardest pieces EVER.

[AfterwardDeified]

@foolery15

When you played it yourself, you mean?

[foolery15]

@AfterwardDeified Well, yeah. I won't say I played well.

[bonghits4jeezus]

@foolery15

Exactly. It is what has always drawn to this song. Coltrane is playing almost like a waltz while the band's in full on swing mode. It makes this song incredibly interesting.
