RE: [Harp-L] New YouTube video: Invitation Note (bossa jazz)

["Clayton Gary Lehmann" <hqr@xxxxxxx>]

This is a perfect example of what I mean about chromatic.
Granted, many of you here are not inclined to perform relaxed bossa novas,
this is still exactly what I mean about accurate note placement.
I am sure there are many who can do this on a diatonic harmonica, but for
the rest of us, Wim is playing the "right" instrument, and if you already
play diatonic, it is within your grasp to at least begin to approach
harmonica playing from this angle.
Wim is exemplary; nevertheless, it would be sooo much work to do this on a
diatonic instrument (I grabbed a C right away--but a flat instrument would
probably be more accommodating) that I believe anyone who wants to do
anything like this should own a chromatic.

Graças a Deus, I found a moment to setup my equipement to record a new  
video.

http://www.youtube.com/wimdijkgraaf

A bossa nova titled "Invitation Note" by Renato Vasconcellos recorded  
on volume 124 of the Jamey Aebersold play-a-long series. This volume  
has the name "Brazilian Jazz" and includes some fine contemporary  
tunes and arrangements in styles like samba, bossa-nova, baião, afoxé,  
partido-alto and maracatu. The theme includes quotations of songs like  
"desafinado" and "garota de Ipanema" and is mainly contructed from  
some pentatonic scales (Db, Bb and B). More on this in an upcoming  
blog posting.

I will transcibe this solo so you can play-a-long. The transcription  
will include an analysis of the musical phrases and will be available  
through my effortless mastery blog by the end of the week.

In an additional video that will be published within a couple of  
weeks, I'll also explain where the ideas come from (as far as I  
know ;-) ) and how to derive excersizes from these ideas as well as  
how to study these excersizes.

Just subscribe to my blog at http://wimdijkgraaf.blogspot.com and  
you'll be kept up to date.

Hope this will inspire other harmonica players out there.

Abraços,
