Chet baker gives us a master class in the use of the Major 6th on the Tonic minor chord in his solo on “Summertime”
The notes he plays when laid out spell a Minor 6th arpeggio.
We can say these notes JUST come from the minor 6 chord, but then we lose the essence of the sound,
We cheapen the experience.
These notes are too sacrosanct to breeze over.
The phrases I play feature the pungent Tritone interval between this major 6th and minor 3rd of the
Minor chord which is bluesy in feeling.
The video extract comes from Module 3 of the 10 BEST SOLOS FOR BEGINNERS TO LEARN
Jazzduets course.

The module is called Distillation exercises.
Question . What are the distillation exercises?
Answer:
In a nutshell this is when key phrases from jazz solos are
creatively distilled in to exercises that are designed to enable the absorption
and understanding of the language of the Jazz giants.
Furthermore
the distillation exercises are conceived to boost your creativity:
to ultimately train, teach and inspire you to develop your own
phrases + vocabulary from the language of the greats.
