[quote=jwh]lovely playing[/quote] Thank you.

nice playing and nice progression!

arguably the minor 6 becomes the tonic here, but that doesn't matter. in the end if it gets you to an interesting place any constraint is valid and can be creative fuel.

Herbie Hancock has a story about Miles Davis telling him "don't play the butter notes" during a gig, which he interpreted as don't play the 3rd and 7th of a chord. which to me was strange at first because I thought you can just play 3rd and 7th and tell the whole story, but actually for him that constraint was maybe more interesting, and he did something more unique and rare by avoiding the most obvious (butter) notes. just goes to show anything goes lol

This is beautiful, I really loved the composition. Wonderful improvisation session, I super enjoy seeing/listening to tunes like these in Weekly Beats

Thanks, and yes on the minor 6 serving as the tonic here. I've been playing for 48 years and still love learning new things about music theory and composition. Interesting since I'm mainly an improv player, but the more I know about music and how it can be structured, the better my playing becomes. Interesting story about Mile Davis. That man had style, and I'm a big fan of his jazz trumpet mastery. I agree about the butter notes.  Anytime you can insert the unexpected and unusual into your music, the better (not butter). lol

Very nice. Flows really well.
I'm with Horatiu on this though, if you never really land on the tonic until the end, something else has become the tonic.
