Steve Herberman - Comping - Ballads and Jazz Waltz
Published on 27 January 2016
Clips from Steve Herberman's Master Class "Comping Concepts Part II: Ballads and Jazz Waltz" on www.mikesmasterclasses.com (available for download).
In this second class on comping well look at ballads and jazz waltzes and the types of comping that work well for each. Tunes will include My Romance, In A Sentimental Mood, Emily and West Coat Blues. On ballads, chordal fills will be demonstrated along with the integration of single notes and double stops in appropriate places backing the melody. Voice leading with usage of upper structure triads and passing chords will be shown using both rootless voicings and conventional drop 2 and drop 3 shapes. On jazz waltzes well add aspects of rhythmic displacement and the use of half notes to create over the bar line phrasing. Also well continue with essential tone comping and expanding the voicings to include extra notes. Some of the phrases that are included in the written examples are reminiscent of Ed Bickert and Jim Halls comping. Having a clear idea of voice leading through chord changes along with rhythmic diversity and swing, will make comping more effective, creative and fun!
