A presentation on the critically important 'bent note' concept in popular music by Brian Q. Torff, bassist and Professor of Music at Fairfield University.
Hello, Brian, I really enjoyed your video. I have been thinking about these things myself since college. I heard you in concert with Larry Coryell about 30 years ago. I would also call out the clarinet cadenza in Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" as an example to incorporate the blue note.

Thanks Matthew- good memory! You're right about the Gershwin.
