Jazz piano improvIsation question?
Q. I'm just getting in to improvisation on piano. I have this piece by Charlie Parker called "bloomdido". I have the chord progression and the main melodic line. I want to extend the piece with my own melodic line after the original phrase. The key is in b flat major and the progression goes i vi ii v i for the first bar. Please can some one tell me how to improv on top? Is there a suitable scale for this piece?
A. I doubt whether those chords are all happening in the first BAR, probably first 2 or 4.
What you've got is a classic turn around of BbMaj7 - Gm7 - Cm7 - F7 - Bb.
If you become familiar with the major scale modes and their chords, their guide tones and avoid notes, you'll find out that you can improvise over all those chords using the Bb scale.
The trick is not to lean on the avoid notes to much.
All that information and how to use it, is presented in a clear way on the website below.
Chord progression help?
Q. I've been working on a chord progression and i've tried a ton of stuff. All i need is the fourth chord. So far its Em, Am, Dm, then nothing. I'm looking for a darker, sadder tone, so G doesn't work.
A. I think it's going to depend on where yo melody is.
If your changes on Em to Am has the melody on E, and the Dm moves the melody up to F, then a Bb or Gm7 might work, if the melody note moves down to D you could plunk in a Bm. If you return the melody to the E, I would probably return to Am or Em. Or how about an F#m7?
That's why I start with a melody and fill in harmony afterward.
... I'm flying blind here, away from my piano, and just sort of playing "air keyboard"
