About this listen
Starting from Barry Harris: Exploring the Diminished; Barry Harris Scales of Chords we will explore his system. While David Baker focuses on the Bebop Scale, Barry Harris offers a distinct, legendary harmonic approach that is essential to the bebop sound.
• Key Concepts discussed:
◦ The "Genealogy" of Chords: Harris's metaphor of the Chromatic scale as "God," the Whole Tone scales as "Man and Woman," and the Diminished chords as their "babies".
◦ The 6th Diminished Scale: Harris's view that chords come from scales, specifically the Major 6th Diminished and Minor 6th Diminished scales.
◦ Borrowed Notes: How to create movement ("motion") within a chord by borrowing notes from the related diminished chord,.
◦ The "Family" of Dominants: How four dominant 7th chords are derived from a single diminished chord.
