Dear All,
We kick off our autumn season back at the Komedia Studio Bar with an
unmissable night in the company of alto sax colossus Peter King and
his fabulous quartet. The following is by John Styles from our
website:
PETER KING Alto saxophone
STEVE MELLING Piano
ANDY CLEYNDERT Bass
MARK FLETCHER Drums
Our autumn season maintains our usual high quality, and opens with one
of the greatest saxophonists of our age. Peter is one of the seven
wonders of the jazz world (ok, there may be more); a master at his
instrument since the days of Ronnie Scott's, (he played at the
opening, as an eighteen-year-old) he has sustained a solo career of
increasing excellence, while also playing alongside the world's
greatest names, including Count Basie, Lalo Schifrin, Ray Charles and
just about any major jazz name of the last half-century. One
particular favourite was Elvin Jones, for whom Peter formed a tribute
band; Charlie Watts of 'Quintet' and 'Big Band' fame picked him to act
as MD for his Bird-inspired supergroup.
Delving into his showbiz-related career reveals Marlene Dietrich,
Eartha Kitt, James Brown and Lauren Bacall; film and theatre work
includes appearances alongside Michael Caine, Matt Damon and Eddie
Izzard. There are many accomplishments alongside his jazz career; he
has written an absorbing autobiography and was awarded the honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters by Roehampton University. His questing
musical intelligence extends into classical realms, and writing string
arrangements for his compositions; one particular influence is the
rich musical territory of Béla Bartók.
Peter's quartet has remained at the heart of this astonishing career,
featuring this peerless and highly-gifted rhythm section. Steve's
virtuosic playing runs from the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine to the New
Jazz Couriers; Andy will be along soon with the great Stan Tracey,
while Mark will be along even sooner, i.e. next week, leading his own
quartet.
For more information see peterkingjazz.com.
Tickets, priced at £15/13 are sold on the door, in advance (up to 1pm
on the Friday of the performance) from The Dome Box Office (Tel: 01273
709709), and online through Brighton Ticket Shop

Hope to see you there,
Very best wishes,

Hi Steve,
Tunes this week: 'blue 7' and 'killer joe'.
For blue 7 I used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah-j6fALiGw
sonny rollins used the lydian (#4) dominant (b7) for the tune and his solo.
If you are a more experienced person, try and think of this as the
lydian augmented, based on the 7th note of the chord, and hear the
difference in your playing.
killer joe clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW641zgPOqQ
have a go at working out what to use for the A section.
If the Bridge frightens you to bits, the tune will sound great in your
solo. May be you can work out some other notes to add?
Have fun, looking forward to Tuesday,
Angèle

Hi Steve,
These are the tunes this Tuesday: 'little sunflower' and 'sunshower'.
Attached the dots for them.
For little sunflower I used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL5G6QnW-ek
For sunshower I used these 2 clips:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpSqI-18cJk (Kenny barron and bobby
hutchinson)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjSdQarM5sA (Kenny barron solo)
please note that (C), (Bb) and (Eb) mean concert, Bb and Eb pitch.
The easiest option is to look at what scale you can use in what sections and
when you need to change:
This is quite clear in little sunflower. You will need:
D dorian for the 'A' section ; Eb and D major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (C)
E dorian for the 'A' section; F and E major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (Bb)
B dorian for the 'A' section; C and B major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (Eb)
If you have been working on modes for a while, try and work out the
alterarions to your major scale, ie:
Dorian implies b3 and b7
Lydian implies #4
Sunshower:
'A' section:
All the notes of the C scale, but the centre shifts from A to F (C)
All the notes of the D scale, but the centre shifts from B to G (Bb)
All the notes of the A scale, but the centre shifts from F# to D (Eb)
!More advanced players note the last bar of 'A' section!
'B' section:
You could approach this on several levels, I'll start with the easiest
1. All the notes of the C scale, but the centre shifts from D, E, F, B
and E (C)
All the notes of the D scale, but the centre shifts from E, F#, G,
C# and F# (Bb)
All the notes of the A scale, but the centre shifts from B, C#, D,
G# and C# (Eb)
2. D dorian, E diminished arpeggio (e, g, bb, c#), F Lydian, B locrian
(C scale from b to b) (C)
E dorian, F# diminished arpeggio (f#, a, c, eb), G Lydian, C#
locrian (D scale from c# to c#) (Bb)
B dorian, C# diminished arpeggio (c#, e, g, bb), D Lydian, G#
locrian (A scale from g# to g#) (Eb)
3. As above. E7#9: (all the notes of the A harmonic minor from e to e)
or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); E7alt: altered scale or dimished
scale (start with semi-tone) (C)
F#7#9: (all the notes of the B harmonic minor from f# to f#)
or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); F#7alt: altered scale or dimished
scale (start with semi-tone) (Bb)
C#7#9: (all the notes of the F# harmonic minor from c# to
c#) or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); C#7alt: altered scale or
dimished scale (start with semi-tone) (Eb)
Full scales:
Locrian: root, b2, b3, 4, b5, b6, b7 (or: root and 4 are only ones not
altered)
Diminished: root, semi-tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, semi-tone, tone,
semi-tone, 8
Altered scale: root, b9, #9, 3 b5, #5, b7,8
My head is spinning now, and yours probably too. Please try not to run
before you walk and chose a sensible level. I have gone up several notches
here, but there is no need to panic. If this is all way above your head (and
we all have been there!), have a go at option 1 for sunshower. You'll find
the whole piece now uses only 1 scale!
Looking forward to see you all,
Angèle
