Modal & Contemporary Patterns - Treble Clef

From the David Baker Modern Jazz Series. Presents phrases extrapolated from the output of the contemporary, post-bop players.

Fourths, pentatonics, modal scales, vertical scales used modally, tone rows and set systems are all presented, while IIV7 progressions realised in a contemporary fashion are exemplified in a variety of patterns and in modal situations.

Sections on Coltrane changes include examples based on Countdown and Giant Steps.
