re: #404 spirochete

The seven modes of the major scale, dorina, lydian, mixolydian, etc. I don’t remember exactly when I first started reading about them, but I think it was in the mid-late 90’s. Listening to one of your recordings I heard what sounded like you were playing with some of those ideas. i was just wondering if they were common knowledge for the pros back then or what the thought process was.

The beauty of jazz is that it isn’t made up of scales..It is made of soul and emotion.. The precise skill of a jazz master only uses a scale to take us somewhere we have never been before..
