@bluelampjazz Yes, but if you do your homework, this album just like Kind of Blue by Miles are classified as "modal". Instead of haggling over semantics lets just enjoy these geniuses and their work. Bravo for your appreciation of it............

@starfly7 jazz harmony falls under two catagorys-modal or functional. functional fulfuills a purpose ie II-V-l. Modal is a long time based on one chord or scale. some tunes, including Dolphin dance have both elements. however, you can play functional over modal, or modal over functional harmony.

Truly one of the best jazz standards ever made.
(presonaly my favourite)

I just saw Herbie tonight in Akron, OH. Such a brilliant musician!
-
@keyzcity You mean modal, tonal refers to certain languages like Chinese..........
-
just transcribed Herbie's first piano solo. It could be a lecture in a jazz theory class, but instead we can just listen to it and sigh.



Such haunting changes... perfection.
