Hi Tomo,
Summer activities have swallowed me whole! But I wanted to tell you how fantastic the Parker blues series is! There is so much great content here that it blows my mind! It would be great if we could hear the melody being played with the various chords that you suggest in this series. No need to explain what you’ve already covered in detail, just hear the melody with the chords throughout the head of the song! If you don’t want to do that, what would you recommend to those of us who would like to connect voicings to the melody line?
I feel like what you’ve given us hear is excellent comping strategies with voice leading ideas.
Thank you so much!

Hi Ken!
So great to hearing from you! Summer is going so fast! Almost end of July!
Thanks for liking the Parker Blues Series! So happy to hear that.
Basically those original videos were very old one camera videos so I watched my original videos & I developed a little deeper!
Now I just finished The Sunny lessons! Those videos are very deep! We just filmed those yesterday. I am working on more!
Melody is very simple! You can hear anyone's melody on Blues For Alice melody. Really following the chord changes.
Don't worry about connecting melody & chords because this melody moves pretty fast!
Basically this chord changes are so good! Little more than a regular jazz blues changes (first 4 bars)
Please enjoy this chord changes with R 3 7 swing groove so you can hear this chord progressions.
Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Tomo
