ExamplE9 meloDiC lines through Changes

-

Here is our most convention­al idea in terms of jazz vocabulary with a selection of melodic ideas based explicitly around the strong chord tones of the underlying sequence. While Tim enjoys playing in a piano-less trio, his knowledge of harmony means that, when he wants you to, you can really hear the chords ring out. Your task here, as you get these lines up to speed, is to analyse and understand the intervalli­c relationsh­ip between the harmony and the melody notes.
