Dexter Gordon triadic lick
06/02/14 Filed in: improv, licks
This is from Dexter Gordon’s solo on “Apple Jump” which is based on Rhythm Changes.
This phrase happens at 4:23 on the second 8 of the A section.
It starts with a F triad then moves up a major 3rd to an Ab triad with the 2nd(9th)- 1-2-3-5 pattern.
This continues up a 4th twice to Db and Gb which resolves, as I see/hear it, a 1/2 step back to F (or to the 3rd of A-7).
He then does a quick descending run to that resolves to F( Anticipating the C-7 F7).
I included two possible tabs for this.
Memorize and try to play it the next time you have a I-VIm-IIm-V7 progression. Enjoy!
Any questions, please contact me.
