Charlie Parker “Tunisia“ minor ii-V-i Lick In Every Key Bebop Jazz Vocabulary & Articulation Lesson

***EDIT: Since creating this video I have found that, for me and my students “EE“ is usually better than “AH“, and “N“ is usually better than “L“. Try it both ways and do whichever works best for you. —Dester*** For a free PDF of everything in this lesson, click here: I made parts for E-flat, B-flat, Concert, and Bass Clef! In this video, I break down a minor iiø7-V7b9-i lick that Charlie Parker played on “A Night In Tunisia“ from the historic live record, Diz n Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947). I discuss the line in a lot of ways: articulation, pitches, rhythms, chord-scale relationships, alternate saxophone fingering used, Parker as a blues musician, demonstrate the line in every key, and present alternative uses for this dense piece of jazz vocabulary. *** MORE of my YouTube Lesson Videos: ➡️Charlie
