Comping for jazz standards Foggy Day chords
Start Jamming...
Okay, I'm going to start trying to play some of these tunes.
The first one is going to be, I'm going to do them semi-alphabetical, as they come up
in the books.
Foggy Day, pretty standard tune.
The melody, you know, goes from been around for everybody knows.
The two 16-bar phrases, each of those 16-bar A or B or however you want to label each section
is four individual four-bar phrases.
Each one kind of starts over.
[Gm]
The melody is kind of active.
The first bar, [C] boom, boom, [Eb] boom, boom, gets less happy.
You see [D] this thing?
[A] So, if you're [G] comping, you've got to [F] reflect on this.
[Cm]
[Em] [Bb] [Gm] You can get a lot more active as the phrase goes on and relax at the beginning.
I use a lot of half-step or sub, whatever you want to call them.
If I'm going to the two, [Ab] [Gb] there's a sub-five, right?
[Gm]
[Abm] Or [Gm] still, [Abm] [G] you call it [Abm] a chromatic or [Gm] it's a sub-five, [G] anyway you want to look at [Ab] it,
it's used modal, [E] it doesn't [A] matter.
Whatever you hear, it [Abm] works with the melody.
And I [Bb] use a lot of two-five sub-fives.
If I'm going to the G minor, [Ab] I may use it.
[Fm]
[C] [Bb] [Abm] [Gm] [C] [Bb] [Gm]
[Em] I'll use it.
[Bb] That's a sub, right?
[Fm] [Am] So, two, [D] [Fm] alter two, the sub [Gm] of that.
Where I'm going, if it's major, I could still use that same one when I'm going to major.
[Ab] [F]
[G] I do it all the time, anyway.
[Bb] It's [Abm] very bluesy, you can see those [N] blue notes.
Anyway, let me just comp through it and if I play something, I'll try to talk about it.
[G] [F]
[Cm] [Gb] [Gm] [E]
[Dm] [Fm] [F]
[Gm] [Ab] [Cm] [Gm]
[Db] [Dm] [Db]
[Am] [C] [Bb] [Am] [Abm]
[Gm] [E] [Dm] [Dbm] [Abm]
[Gm] [Ab] [D]
[A] [Gm] [E]
[Eb] [Db] [B] [Dm]
[F] [Ab] [Gm] [Abm] [Am]
[Db] [F] [C] [Bb] [C] [Dm]
[E] [Dm] [Db]
[Ebm] [Gbm] [Gm] [Dm] [Ab] [D]
[Dm] [Fm] [F] [Abm] [Bb]
[E] [C] [Cm] [Dm]
[Fm] [Db] [Am] [Gm] [C]
[Ebm] [Dm] [F] [Bb] [Dbm]
[Cm] [B] [Bb]
[C] [Dbm] [C] [Fm]
[F] [Abm] [Gm] [E] [Bb] [Ebm]
[Cm] [Db] [Bb] [F] [G]
[F] [C] [Db] [C]
[Bb] [A] [F] [G] [E]
[Dm] [Em] So anyway, that's pretty straight, nothing, just straight comping through.
It's hard to comp when you've got nothing going, no rhythm, no bass player.
Bass player usually just playing quarter notes on [Gm] this, walking pretty [F] in.
[Eb] [Db]
[D] [E] [C] [Bb] [Ab]
[C] [D] [Gb]
[F] He's just walking quarters, swinging as he goes along.
[G] If you had a soloist, you go with him, you get to listen.
Anyway, that's a pretty straight version.
I'll try to load this and then do another one.
If there's anything you see, just give me a note and I'll try to explain what I did.
Like I said, I used a lot of approaches.
They're all pretty straight, though.
I didn't use anything, all my voicing, because this is a pretty straight tune.
I used all standard chords, no heavy
