Bebop evolved from Swing. It was about adding more complexity in the harmony with like Bird and Dizzy starting that. And then Modal Jazz came after that and Cool Jazz, which were a lot of what Miles was doing. So Modal Jazz simplified the chord progression to allow these insanely trained musicians more freedom to improvise. And then Free Jazz came later, and then Post Bop. Post Bop albums came in the 60's. It is a huge evolution. You have to understand how to play bebop to play what comes after it in a way. You have to learn your chords and scales and be able to solve a chord progression.

@Natasha Tori Maru Good to see you. Great photo. That mirror is awesome.

No it is really very immediate, I'm being honest. You can disagree which you are doing, which is your take, which I respect as your take.

I can sense it right away usually.

I don't think anyone is attacking Leo that directly, do you think? I think people are just discussing what they feel is important. It could be topics that go beyond Leo.

Is this a reality or a plan or both and not even?

This one is more for success in relationships: "The Assertiveness Workbook" by Randy J. Patterson

According to the unknown tao. Of course.

No.

I'm sensing you haven't been able to express your anger in a normal way or so you state.

I will attend a meet and greet in person.

I feel like Leo should do a meet and greet so we can meet each other in person. I don't even know what most of you look like. Here is an example of a meet and greet session:

This is what it feels like to play Jazz. The moving from one room to another can be thought of cycles. It is one cycle after another. The cycles are chord progressions usually spanning 4 or 8 bars. You have to stand your ground and control every variable of the music even if you are not the drummer. You need to have a sense of rhythm and time even if you are not the drummer. The entire band can self-correct each other. This is hard to do when you are new though because you are deferential to the other musicians and just trying to fit in.

Get a resume together, it will make you feel good just to get that done. Apply for many jobs and just get something. Each person you work with is a potential reference for more work. The way I work is by reference sales or relationship-based sales, which means each person I connect with is a potential source for referrals to me. I have a couple businesses and this is how I operate. I think it is good to just start somewhere rather than wait.

Self-help is not the same as spirituality IMO. Self-help is about making practical improvements to your life. It is a different area of work than spirituality, although there is overlap. Spiritual people often don't like self-help because they deny that a self exists to help. They think it is entirely ego-driven.

I agree. But people can be taught how to do survival better which is the goal of self-help.

@TheGreekSeeker Good to see you.

@Human Mint Yes. And functional harmony has a melodic aspect to it too. It is like a slow melody.

Yes. Blues generally has 3 chords too. Jazz is kind of an extension of Blues in that it adds more harmonic complexity.

Each genre in music is an artform that has its own rule set or what artists call tropes. Rock is different than Jazz, Jazz is different than Indian Classical Music, Post Rock is different than R&B. Some forms of music are heavily centered around harmony like Jazz but some forms are less so such as drum circle music. Even harmony is not always emphasized in all music. Some music has very little rhythm comparatively like Western Classical Music. It is interesting how the musical variables are seen in light of a particular genre of music. Rock is more focused on lyrics whereas Jazz is more focused on tone for example. You can get away with playing 3 chords in Punk Rock. And also the use of distortion in Rock differs from the pure tones in Jazz.

Notice the impossible, no way, cannot in this communication.
