Coltrane changes - Wikipedia

 

For the album we just recorded, we were fighting for like hours trying to figure out how to add a fun, high energy song, while still sounding jazzy and not abandoning the style of the rest of the record. And then we all left and our guitarist just made a beat with coltrane changes in Ableton, and it was fun sounding but immensely "jazzy". I think the V is a fifth? I never learned music theory so I'm totally lost most of the time.

 

i'd explain it but im sure @teebs41 is presently writing up a much better explanation so i'll just let you read that

 

Yea it’s the chords in a key,
Coltrane changed keys like every two or 4 beats by hammering listeners with ii V progressions in different keys. You can just sit there and come up with great sounding stuff using them,

You can even go dark and use minor iib5 V i

 

Lol you were right. This thread is fun.

 

Lol this is the most use my bachelors in jazz performance has gotten in months...

 

i went to a performing arts magnet school for a couple years in high school. great school but i left once i decided i was definitely not going to school for music. i had also come to hate practicing. it wasn't good

 

I'm so excited that I kind of understand some of this!

 

I am conducting a 4th-8th grade jazz band tonight but I don’t consider that use of my jazz degree bc anyone with any Type of music degree could do it, especially bc there’s is no improvising. Lol

I played a jazz gig at the end of the summer tho haha

 

the best player at my local high school, who also went to the magnet school half day with me, helped our music teacher run his jazz band. she had to tell him that actually there are 7 types of 7th chords, not 4

 

Guys start an experimental band with a light jazz influence, its hot rn

 

actually im sure there are more than 7, but we were taught 7 basic common ones: major, minor, diminished, half diminished, augmented, dominant, and major/minor

 

only if we're also a dead cover band

 

be still my heart. honors the past and plots out a course for the future all at once. Prettt stunned by this collection

 

Hiromi fuckin rules folks

 

i mean fuck

 

Yeah that's sick
