About This Title

Here's a short video demonstrating a Barney Kessel phrase from Corcovado, showing how he uses thirds to create melodic movement through 7th chords. You can find this kind of movement in many of his arrangements. It's really part of his signature playing style.

I love these sounds! And I think I'll need to make a second part exploring the altered dominants he uses alongside these beautiful voicings. There's plenty more to discover here. And don't forget to check out the PDF for this phrase that I uploaded in yesterday's post, so you can practise it yourself.

Hope you enjoy the video, and have a great weekend!
