The EASIEST way to sound hip and modern while improvising over jazz harmony.
“If I had to choose just ONE harmonic concept to practice for the rest of my life, it would be the Double Diminished Scale!“
– Eric Alexander
If I were forced to pick one harmonic concept to practice for the rest of my life that would enable me to stay hip and play most of the altered or expansive type sounds in modern jazz, it would be the double diminished scale.
And oddly, it’s one of the easiest things to wrap your brain, your ear and your fingers around. I can construct quality solos with this limited amount of information because it’s easily manipulated and disguised, it’s mathematically pure and it sounds new, yet familiar at the same time.
