Most of what I post here is work that I am currently studying, and want to share with the hope that it may be useful to other people. I've decided to try something regular by sharing a written 'lick' or phrase each week with an explanation.
The first is a minor ii v phrase. I chose this because it uses two phrases from Jerry Bergonzi's melodic structures (see my review). On the C-7b5 it runs up a Bb major pattern and then on the F7b9 down a B major pattern. The second pattern in B, in particular can be further used to create nice tensions on the b9 and #5.
