RE: [Harp-L] Charlie Parker solo on diatonic

Thanks Iceman !

Your remark concerning my head movement is really interesting ?

As I explained, my principle goal when working out Charlie Parker? solo was
to understand and learn his relation with time.

As it?s been really difficult, I decided to move the head back each time an
accent is put on the upbeat. Just to have a sort of physical guide of what
is happening.

I slowed down the solo, and learned it that way, lick after lick, with my
head moving depending on the accents, instead of moving depending on the
notes as I usually do (and I guess most of us do).

I posted the vid, but I didn?t think about checking visually the result of
this. Thanks for your help :-)

 

Anyway, I?ve been quite happy with this method of moving the head each time
an accent is put on the upbeat, and I recommend it.

 

Best regards,

aside from the harmonica challenges that are hard to overcome, Jerome
transcribed a solo by Parker to the point that he lives it....easy to tell
by the ease in which Jerome phrases and then pauses between phrases. His
head is in perfect sync w/Parker's, a nice place to dwell, indeed.

Hello all !
 
 
 
I've been working on Ornithology theme + chorus for few weeks now.
 
It's been a tremendous amount of work, just to accomplish this minute and a
half . Charlie Parker being such a challenging musician on all aspects of
music.
 
So I have to admit I am quite happy to have finally posted it on youtube :

I know it is far from being perfect, whereas this music should be perfect,
but it is just an exercise and publishing it is a way for me to move to the
next exercise.
 
 
 
Thanks to those who will take a minute and a half to listen to it (and
special thanks to those who will give me a feedback, always interesting to
hear from you).
 
 
 
Best regards,
 
 
 
Jerome
