strong>MD/strong> techniques can stimulate your creativity and broaden your musical horizon.  Beethoven elevated sonata form to new heights with strong>MD/strong>, while Sonny Rollins used strong>MD/strong> to revolutionize jazz improv far beyond “a bunch of memorized licks” and “sax players searching for the right note.”/p>p>Let’s take a look at six ways you can use MD to breathe new

the masters was satisfying.  It seemed to legitimize and validate my work./p>p>However, about 10 years into my career, I suddenly faced an existential crisis, when nagging questions like these began

call this “playing on the other side of the beat.”  If your band mates are sufficiently skilled to avoid getting lost, playing on the other side can be used to stunning effect./p>p>Note also that the second statement of our melodic phrase – while melodically identical to the first – is accompanied by chords from a different key.   We might refer to this as a “transposed harmonic setting.”  The new harmonies give the melody a distinctly different sound, as if stage lighting on an actor had been changed from red to blue./p>p> a hrefhttps://craigbuhler.com/2021/03/22/wheres-one/#more-18933

As one typical example, here’s a practice session from a couple days back which was both productive and immensely enjoyable.   Every day isn’t exactly like this.  Sometimes the focus is on long tones, sometimes it’s reading through transcriptions, etc.  But – on this particular late evening session – I followed Sonny Rollins’ advice.  Sonny said, “just start playing the horn.  Listen to the sound.  Feel your breath and the keys of your axe.  Play a blues.  Play a tune.  Play any old licks that come to mind.”  Rollins called them “clichés,” but he didn’t mean that as an insult.  They’re the bread and butter of learning.  Don’t evaluate, don’t judge, just relate to your axe and enjoy how it sounds, how it makes you feel.   After I blew for awhile, this lick just popped out. /p>figure classwp-block-audio>audio controls srchttps://craigbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/feb-2-2021-lick-one-iteration.mp3>/audio>/figure>div classtiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized data-original-width1108 data-carousel-extra{"blog_id":1114715,"permalink":"https:\/\/craigbuhler.com\/2021\/02\/13\/practice-joy-subconscious-symmetry\/","likes_blog_id":1114715} itemscope itemtypehttp://schema.org/ImageGallery > div classgallery-row stylewidth: 1108px; height: 230px; data-original-width1108 data-original-height230 > div classgallery-group images-1 stylewidth: 1108px; height: 230px; data-original-width1108 data-original-height230 > div classtiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large itempropassociatedMedia itemscope itemtypehttp://schema.org/ImageObject> a hrefhttps://craigbuhler.com/2021/02/13/practice-joy-subconscious-symmetry/1-iteration-corrected/ border0 itempropurl> meta itempropwidth content1104> meta itempropheight content226> img class data-attachment-id18899 data-orig-filehttps://craigbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-iteration-corrected-e1613289898680.png data-orig-size1276,261 data-comments-opened1 data-image-meta{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"} data-image-title1 ITERATION corrected data-image-description data-medium-filehttps://craigbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-iteration-corrected-e1613289898680.png?w300 data-large-filehttps://craigbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-iteration-corrected-e1613289898680.png?w1024 srchttps://i0.wp.com/craigbuhler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/1-iteration-corrected-e1613289898680.png?w1104&h226&ssl1 width1104 height226 loadinglazy data-original-width1104 data-original-height226 itemprophttp://schema.org/image title1 ITERATION corrected alt1 ITERATION corrected stylewidth: 1104px; height: 226px; /> /a> /div> /div> !-- close group --> /div> !-- close row --> /div>p>I kind of liked it, so I kept repeating it.  Maybe I tweaked it as I went along, I can’t remember.  After getting it smooth in one key, I ran it down in all 12 keys.  Then I wrote it down in my journal, knowing full well I’d forget it otherwise.   After a day or two, I looked back at the transcription and discovered an inner logic — the thing that makes a phrase seem natural and organic – that I hadn’t noticed before.    Up to that point, I’d just been blowing, without a sense of compositional coherence, or any of that theoretical stuff.  But there it was, the musical logic, just waiting to be discovered…/p>h2 classhas-text-align-center

But Getz begins his amazing melodic sequence 2 beats before the passage shown above, so he needs to fill 26 beats.  /p>p>The diagram below illustrates the incredible way he accomplishes this Herculean feat.   Stan’s motif of six eighth-notes covers 3 beats and is repeated three times on each of three starting notes.   But on the second iteration of round two, he leaves out a beat.   Thus, the total episode comprises 9 + 8 + 9  26 beats.   Even at 160 beats per minute, Getz is able to execute this monumental feat so smoothly that it sounds effortless./p>p>/p>figure classwp-block-image size-large>a
