MODERN SWING
This popular progression has a beautiful way of creating tension and release while
winding through several keys.
In Bars 3 and 4, a I-7 chord shifts to a V7»9 in the Key of Bo.
_ Bars 5 - 7 show a Il-7, V7»9, | Maj progression in Eo.
Bars 11 - 13 have a “Key of F” feeling. :
Bar 17 creates tension with the G7#5 chord, which is released at Bar 19 with the Eb Maj chord.
Bars 27 - 30 use the #-705 and V7.9 chords for the ending climax and beautifully resolve
to the tonic.
Bars 1 and 2 and Bars 25 and 26 provide material for the altered dominant A79.

This solo melodically fuses tonal and atonal music.
Bars 1 and 2 are constructed in fourths, built on the altered dominant chord A7.9.
Bars 3 and 5 are also constructed in fourths, built on minor seventh chords (C-7 and F-7).
Bars 6 - 9 contain a combination of fourths winding around thirds and seconds.
Bars 10 - 12 are Be-Bop oriented. (Note the syncopation.)
Bar 13 — note the fourths.
The last eight bars, 25 - 32, are somewhat unusual; study them to learn about playing
through altered chords.
