if you love bop and don't make it to his class- your going to regret it. Look him up and find him where ever you are.

I wish the piano were in tune...great lesson otherwise...

@TJSax1986 - Mr. alford eliot's explanation is useful...but instead of the Eflat that he indicates substitute Enatural...[since, as he indicates, both major & minor scales can use the flat 6...]. You might want to think of this as a major scale with an additional chromatic 'correction' of the Aflat... The added chromatic note creates an 8 note scale which provides better rhythmic/ melodic synchronization...

@alfordeliot - An interesting explanation...but I would simply interpret this as alternating between inversions of the Am7 with those of E7...of course you need to understand which altered note(s) he uses on that "E7", i.e. F natural [flat 9th degree of E7]...I suggest viewing George Shearing's demonstration of the 'locked hands' approach [I saw this on BET Jazz - which no longer exists...] for a similar harmonization example...

He's a great musician and a living legend and we're lucky to have him.

@TJSax1986 not really because the way he explained it is that the major and minor has a flat six in it, and goes into greater detail connecting it with classical music it goes quite deeper than just melodic minor, although its in there, but the scale would spell, C D Eb F G Ab A B C

Billy Strayhorn's "My little Brown Book"
He is using a scale with the notes of C6 plus B diminished over Am7. All the footage is about tmoving notes in this scale.
