a Trick, a wiggling-chromatic + extended altered dominant (voiced in fourths/quartals)
Channel: Intuitive Jazz

Based on 'f' minor -- starting with an 'f' minor-seventh (f min.7) chord.


== First (main/introductory / central) point/thesis/concept == 

Take one of the members of the chord (the _7_th, in this case), and "wiggle" it up, and down, semi-tones (half-steps) (or, maybe Whole-steps / Major-2nds, as well). 

This is a common device of Jazz harmony. 

But I draw from outside of the Jazz canon (standards). Instead, (Spot the tune!) (Hint, 'f' minor is a half-step / semi-tone lower transposed down from the original arrangement/rendition/recording by the (famous) band.)

-- In this context/case, the 'f' minor (7) chord is the _tonic_ chord -- the "i(7)" -- which then leads to the chord that I use next ... 


== 2nd point/concept == 

I also make extensive (extended, and altered) use of a "dominant" (-function) chord -- "V7" (in this key, that means "C7").  I use #9, #5 (or call that "flat-13"?), as well as flat-9, too.

C + E (omit the P5th - 'G') + "B-flat" (minor-7th above the chord's root) 
+ "D#", + "G#" (A-flat?) , and "D-flat" (at top) (Don't call that pitch "C#", right? It's not a "sharp-8th" - or "augmented octave" if there is such a thing!).



== equipment/technology/production note(s) == 

My performance is actually pretty good here -- at least my timing/"feel" is better (than usual, for these videos). Even the mistakes aren't un-pleasing to hear (fingers slipping on keyboard).


=== instrument/sound/samples === 

I used some different samples for the piano sound than I usually do. Instead of the University of Iowa Steinway samples (from the year 2001) (re-mastered/edited by Anthony Deaton in Feb. 2016 for .sfz) --  
I instead used samples of a 1980s Yamaha C5 grand piano (FreePats) called "Salamander V3Retuned"
