Re: ii-V-i and harmonic minor #Harmony #Improv


Rogé io Couto
 

Alisdair,

I tend to use natural minor for the im7 most of the time because it gives me
a more relaxed sound and when I want some color I switch to the melodic
minor.
I don't care that much for the kind of the minor chord the piano player
comps as long as it is a "im" I will play like said above.

some of the old school jazzers I have spoken with seem
to prefer using the harmonic minor for the iim7b5-V7 part then switch
to the melodic minor for the i chord giving them then the natural 6. I
have found that it's easier to use the dorian mode, because that would
then give both the 6 and the b7, ensuring that I can cover whatever
another piano player or guitarist comps, m6, m7, m69, m9, m11 etc.
