Re: [Harp-L] Miles Davis - Kind of Blue on the harp

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

This is a great tune. I transcribed the 3 horn parts and taught 2 of them to Joe Filisko and Grant Dermody. The three of us performed this song along with a rhythm section at the SPAH 98 Blues Blow Off, which is captured on the video set recorded that evening. This footage may give you some ideas or insight into "All Blues".
 
It's basically a 12 bar blues with a different time signature. When you get to the V chord, it is played as a +9 and modulates up and down 1/2 step (turning into a 9 chord on the modulation up only).
 
Studying Miles Davis will give you a wonderful music education.

Folks: I am sure everyone has heard Miles Davis 1st recordings: Kind of Blue. There are some incredible muted work that sounds like it could work on the harp. 
One tune: All Blues I have been working on some ideas but I dont have it yet. This is where the ideas and techniques of Richard Hunter, Robert Bonfiglio and Howard Levy have great application. 
Anyone have ideas"
