Some Very Cool Jazz-Licks
Grab the mp3 file or the CD and try to play along! You can hear this lick on the standard 'Joy Spring' on Joe Pass's CD 'Joy Spring', a must have CD for every jazz guitarist. The lick is the pick up for the first solo chorus.
Joe Pass plays a D minor triad arpeggio with an added 9 on the Bm7b5 chord, what gives us the following functions : b3, 4, b5, b7. On the E7 he plays an A harmonic minor scale.
Kenny Burrell has been a high in demand guitarist during all his career (he was Duke Ellington's favorite guitar player). Some of the jazz giants he played with : Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, John Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, Stan Getz, Billie Holiday, This lick is a nice way to change position on the fret board.
This is a bluesy lick in the Eb blues pentatonic scale.
