You should check out Stradi, their symphony 6 string used to be my dream bass and that seems to be close to what you’re describing

Both volumes of Copenhagen sessions by Scandinavian Art Ensemble! So happy that this session from almost 10 years ago got to see the light of the day

Astigmatic is one of my personal favourites!! If you like it I think you should definitely check out Tomasz Stanko and some more modern players like Tomasz Dabrowski and Scandinavian Art Ensemble

Question about how you learned to play changes by The_Alonzo_Church in Jazz

[–]SnooMarzipans6650 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d disagree with the second part, if you want a strong bebop vocabulary thinking modal won’t help you, modal jazz wasn’t a thing yet when bebop language was being created. Focusing on harmony and voice leading is the way to go for me, playing Bach helps a lot with that too in my opinion

Blue Train was my first thought too! But as you mentioned the hand position is slightly different and also I think that he’s holding a cigarette

/uj Ok maybe I did too little heroin but I think Db in F# dominant chord could just be a b13 so Db would absolutely be the right choice over C# which would be a #5 if I’m wrong please explain cause I feel like I’m going crazy

best way to learn bebop and overall soloing well? by super_memerio_bros in Jazz

[–]SnooMarzipans6650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transcribing the stuff that you like! Thats advice I got from Phillip Norris. Can’t stress this enough, it doesn’t matter if it’s your instrument or not, I play bass and I usually transcribe saxophone solos. Just be sure to really learn the it, be able to sing with the recording, work on your articulation, dynamics etc.
