WOOOOOOOWWWWW, you have got to be kidding me.................. a person needs a lil bit more than luck to get this. And you learn this by ear.......... I am going to need a tutorial big man.
Actually, that is incorrect. A cycle of fifths moves in the flat direction on the circle of fifths - that is, down a fifth rather than up a fourth. So, A-D can be a fourth (ascending) or it can be a fifth (descending). The much more common progression is of descending fifths (harmonically, not necessarily bassline contour). In jazz parlance it's also called a "ii-V-I" progression. A true cycle of fourths would move in descending fourths, i.e. A-E-B-F# etc
you say for the bridge you're using a cycle of fifths. Actually, I believe you meant a cycle of fourths- Am7/9 to D7 to GM7 to CM7#11 would be fourths, not fifths.
Hi Man, your version is awesome! Do you have sheets for your work? Or at least chords? Since the Coltrane/Mccoy version sounds different from the chords I found online!
Thanks for the words. I don't have a lead sheet for this tune (having learned it by ear), but I can describe what I'm doing harmonically. Basically for the vamp parts I'm using two chords (most modal jazz works like that) - Em7 and F#m7. For the bridge it's all cycle of fifths - Am7(9), D7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7(#11), F#m7(b5), Em7, F#m7, B7.
for the solo section I'm just using a B dorian type mode with an interchangeable G/G#
thanks brotha. I tried incorporating some of Tyner's signature quartal/quintal harmonies and pitch cells while keeping the overall polyrhythm going by playing dotted quarters in the left hand chords against the 3/4 beat. Thanks for listening -

Thanks. It's a YDP 223, which is an excellent model and, like all digitals, has the virtue of never requiring tuning!
