Mr. Stern
This tune is a dedication to MikeStern, who is equally exceptional atbebop and funk-fusion styles. It has a16-bar form and a half-time swing-funk groove (Ive heard it calledswunk). Its felt more in 2: that is,the half note gets the pulse.
C minor is the overall sound. Startfrom there, and add anything you canin the way of scales and arpeggios tothe chords, but try to keep it grooving.
On the melody, strive for a blend withthe sax, and you may notice that Ioccasionally throw in a chord voicingin the 8th measure, a G7#9.
The first 12 bars of the melody arenot too difficult. The last bars are theworkout. This is the Stern section,the stuff that Mike can fire out with ease. For myself, this kind ofline is difficult and takes muchpractice. Work on this section slowlyuntil you can play with therecording. Meanwhile, groove outover the solo section. Hey, try it withsome friends.
