Footprints: Journey Through The Real Book  

Fantastic, I love your rendition.

Rest in peace

It seems there's a lot of possibility of good bass lines, keeping that ii V ii V as the frame work. I've heard a lot of bass players move chromatically down from the E back down to C, which makes sense as well because you get either a 3rd or 7th on each chord and is a smooth movement. Fun video, Thank you!

what a beautiful version of the song! 😍

Great episode, waited for this particular tune :)

These are great lessons, thank you!

Hello! Great lesson! So, the correct tension on the E7 is the 9, right? Instead the #9. I was listening to this tune right now and I think Herbie played the natural 9 over the E7, like you did in the video. Thank you for this great lesson! Regards!

Hi Ron, I love these videos, I always read your blog, but had never visited this series of videos. I wanted to ask you something about this song which relates closely with something I am currently researching about harmonics. This song is in the key of C and according to my research the consonants of any key are piled up and down in fourths evenly from a fixed starting point in the 2nd degree of the key, this way up D G C F Bb Eb and this way down D A E B F# C#. In my opinion the side most consonant with the original Footprints by Wayne Shorter is the series of fourths that goes from D to Eb (the notes of the Cm pentatonic scale). Then the notes most dissonant with the original song being E B F# C#. Hope I'm right or at least not alone in this point of view. Thanks.

You talk a lot but, its interesting. Thank you.

I saw his documentary and i believed he treats chans as his relationships with woman..Denial of attention...shorter did not pay attention to a problem, he was in DENIAL.
