Oleo
Posted on 2024-10-31
Oleo by Sonny Rollins
I was inspired by a post
Stuck on Rhythm Changes? Here Are 4 Coltrane Concepts That’ll Set You Free
https://www.jazzadvice.com/lessons/how-play-rhythm-changes-like-john-coltrane/
where Eric analysed Coltrane's playing on Oleo with the Miles Davis Quintet.
I started to practice some of the transcibed phrases and I came up with the double bebop scale technique where I use the chromatic runs from both the C and F bebop scales over the rhythm changes A part in Bb.
Thanks Eric.
...
I talked to an Old Hippie for a while.
...
Like a lot of Sonny Rollins compositions it has a tricky rhythm. I am determined to use the opening phrase when I solo on my rhythm changes composition, Low Earth Orbit.
Not at all like Oleo it's slower and has an easier bridge than Rhythm Changes. I call it Honky Tonk Jazz because it leans towards Boogie Woogie.
It's the opening song on our Bebop Beatniks set at Blues Fest in 2024.
Here's the conversation on Mastodon.
