    For the album we just recorded, we were fighting for like hours trying to figure out how to add a fun, high energy song, while still sounding jazzy and not abandoning the style of the rest of the record. And then we all left and our guitarist just made a beat with coltrane changes in Ableton, and it was fun sounding but immensely "jazzy". I think the V is a fifth? I never learned music theory so I'm totally lost most of the time.

    Yea it’s the chords in a key,
    Coltrane changed keys like every two or 4 beats by hammering listeners with ii V progressions in different keys. You can just sit there and come up with great sounding stuff using them,

    You can even go dark and use minor iib5 V i

    I am conducting a 4th-8th grade jazz band tonight but I don’t consider that use of my jazz degree bc anyone with any Type of music degree could do it, especially bc there’s is no improvising. Lol

    I played a jazz gig at the end of the summer tho haha

  16. the best player at my local high school, who also went to the magnet school half day with me, helped our music teacher run his jazz band. she had to tell him that actually there are 7 types of 7th chords, not 4
