MICHAEL BRECKER JAZZ IMPROVISATION Using 4 note cells descending in minor 3rds tetrachords
John Mclaughlin analysis of how to improvise over Dominant chords. John employs a simple pentatonic scale that exploits both the #9 [F natural] and the Major 3rd [F#]. Descending he employs the F melodic [jazz] minor scale.This is because the second dominant chord exploits the #11 [Ab]. It also creates an augmented flavour with the #5 [Bb] note]. This finally resolves to GMaj7#11 with an F#m9 arpeggio that finishes on the C# note [#11 of Gmaj7#11].
