WHEN BARRY MET DIZZY: BARRY HARRIS' SCALES FOR BIRK'S WORKS

Hey everyone-Posting this on New Year's Day, 2025! Just a little treatise on Barry Harris' scales on Dizzy Gillespie's classic minor blues, Birk's Works, courtesy of The Maestro-El Jefe-Chris Parks. As always-if I f#@%ed up any of the theory, please-jazz skool nerds-help a brother out in the comments! For example, I mentioned that the Kenny Burrell version uses 16th note triplets and actually so does Dizzy Gillespie in his original recording-it just doesn’t look like it’s written that way to me🤷‍♂️
I've learned so much from Chris Parks throughout 2024 but I'm barely scratching the surface of Barry's incredible harmonic and melodic universe. Here's to digging a little deeper in 2025 with Chris and the rest of the intrepid souls ‪@OpenStudioJazz‬ Happy New Year, stay safe, likeysubby and PEACE OUT!

OMG, dude, you're like teaching and preaching!

[@jeremyversusjazz]

FYI: I mention same uptop but wanted to put here as well: In the video, i say that the Kenny Burrell version is cool cuz he uses 16th note triplets on the head. Actually, so does Dizzy Gillespie in his original recording-it just doesn’t look like it’s written that way to me🤷‍♂️Jazz-Skool-Nerds! Help a brother out! 🤷‍♂️

[@MrJazzbluesguitar]

Great explanation and nice smooth lines! Cool how you made the backing track Latin!

[@jeremyversusjazz]

thanks brother yeah you know I thought it was Latin too and then I went back and looked at the setting and it’s actually something called blue note under the jazz section so I think it’s more of like a sidewinder like a Lee Morgan sidewinder type of groove, but it does sound like more like a Boogaloo I guess

Great video, as always. I love the tone of the P90s a the thinline. Your tone and playing are always fun, unique, and you! And by the way, I learned a thing or two! Thank you for that!
