Summary of This Method
The dominant seventh is at the heart of 20th-century harmony: it attracts the ear, calls for resolution, and allows for an infinite range of colors. This Play-a-Long format method offers an immersion into the very "nature" of the dominant seventh chord, showing why it is so prevalent in jazz, but also why it literally "dominates" the language of blues and rock.
Throughout the explanations, you clarify the harmonic role of the V7 and its ability to generate tension, whether in a classic cadence, a blues-type progression, or a more modern sequence. The goal is to understand how the same chord can change function and character depending on the context: rhythmic placement, voice leading, target notes, and choice of tensions.
The method also emphasizes the different ways jazz masters exploit the dominant: substitutions, enrichments, alterations, and typical colors of the modern language. By working on these ideas as a true vocabulary, you gain freedom to accompany with more depth, but also to improvise with a more directional and expressive discourse.
Designed for active practice, it helps you move from theory to feeling: hearing the dominant, anticipating its resolution, and choosing notes that tell a story. An excellent resource to consolidate your understanding of jazz harmony, develop your ear, and add more character to your choruses as well as your accompaniments.
