  • I have posted a companion score and midi file on my website, www.7notemode.com This is a streamilined version to share some of the voicings I'm using. I also included a basic bass line as an example of how to get started doing a walking bass. I have had a lot of requests for teaching material, so this a bit of an experiment for me to see how much interest there is.
    This tune is from the 1945 film "Anchors Aweigh", and was a standard played by Miles Davis and Bill Evans. The Miles Davis recordings of it are amazing. I took a fairly standard approach to it, using some chord substitutions, but I didn't go that far out. This is an unusual structure because it is only 16 measures long, and plays in a repeating AB pattern. Something about the changes makes me want to go over and over it. It's very circular. I never get tired of playing it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did playing it.

    I've listened to a lot of Bill Evans. He really speaks to me.

    Magistral. A wide range of colors orbits Bill Evans' palette. If you played like that 15 years ago, I can't imagine your current level.

    The Ishter, yes, it's a B. I record a separate audio track which I add later. I use two omni mics spaced 12 inches apart two feet outside the case of the piano. Fortunately, the room has pretty good acoustics.

    Donotclickonthis, I use voicings and patterns I am familiar with. A different take would be similar, but with different variations on the basic changes. One way I try to get away from that is to change the key, which forces me to use a different approach.

    I might be mistaken, but I think you have the influence of Bill, especially when you play ballads, I mean, the inner voices and the left hand in a very busy manner. anyway, it is really fine.
