Blue Bossa in 7, 1 Harp in 12 Keys, Seven Things in 7
Blue Bossa a mustlearn tune for every aspiring jazz musician. Its simple (usually in 4, 4) except for a tricky 1, 2 step modulation halfway through. To challenge myself, I play it in 7, 4 in all 12 keys on one harmonica it feels surprisingly good I guess thinking out of the box can be rewarding. Blue Bossa byKenny Dorham, 1962 The harmonica I use in this video: Bb Hohner Marine Band with Special 20 reed coverplates customized by Joe Filisko About Seven Things in 7: Odd time meters can be tricky to play in at first, but once you get familiar with them, that will change each one has its own symmetry and swing. For me, 7, 4 and 7, 8 are two of the most comfortable odd time meters to play in. So I came up with this playlist showcasing different styles of music, all in 7, 4 or 7, 8. I hope you enjoy them and maybe give it a try yourself. Howards revolutionary harmonica book Rhythms of the Breath,
