I posted this question to the "justjazz.com" discussion group & got
no response, so I hope my luck is better here. My question is: what
does it mean to play a "double diminished" riff/run? A pro friend
(Kenny Rankin's bass player of many years ago) mentioned that I
should know this concept, but he couldn't explain it well. My guess
is that it may have something to do with playing a riff based on
diminished chord tones, then repeating the riff down 1/2 step (which
still leaves you within the dinished scale of the original
chord/arpeggio). But, then, it may be something altogether
different, so I am posing the question to the group. Any
references/resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
