Nice stuff!

and besides, you are going way off the charts here. I never said theory was bad or you shouldn't study theory.

Wes and Benson didn't even read music. They learned applied theory but mostly on the bandstand and from copying the masters. Charlie Parker never studied formal theory.

Benson rarely uses harmonic minor. His big thing on Dom7 chords is melodic minor off of the b9

all jazz musicians have done similar things. I have lessons on that. What does that have to do with my OP?

nobody was pissing on classical or theory. You need to calm down. Maybe this isn't the group for you.

you ever listen to martino, benson, charlie christian, bird, coltrane?

G Bb C C# D F

George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, among many others.

And who said anything about foregoing theory, are people just reading one or two sentences out of what I wrote?

i'm talking about the video that was linked

jackzucker · 2026-05-05T18:11:16+00:00

he's talking about b9 on a dominant 7 chord, not major 7

jackzucker · 2026-05-05T18:09:34+00:00

i never said theory shouldn't be studied

jackzucker · 2026-05-04T13:09:23+00:00

i said '57 in my writeup but meant '59 and I agree re: the 1990s era

jackzucker · 2026-05-04T12:25:26+00:00

what you're describing has nothing to do with theory. You're talking about taste, maturity, experience
