Subject: Aebersold/Minnie

Yesterday I was searching the internet for a rare Wardell Gray CD when I
found this company called Doubletime Records that had it, along with a great
selection of other rare jazz cds. So I placed my order via e-mail and when
the confirmation came back it was signed Jamey Aebersold!

"Wow!" I wrote back "Are you THE Jamey Aebersold?!" He was indeed. He
runs a rare record shop with his wife in addition to his instructional
business.

That inspired me to get out one of my Aebersold books and CD's last night.
And I was struck by his comment that the Dorian minor , Dominant 7th and
Major scales for a given key are really just different ranges of one scale,
so that you can reduce iim7 - V7 - I progressions down to just 12 patterns,
one for each key.

But on the Diminished chromatic tuning, those 12 different patterns can be
further reduced down to just 3 different patterns because the C, Eb, Gb, A
scales are identical except for the starting hole, as are the Db, E, G, Bb
and the D, F, Ab, B.

Pretty cool!
