Using "Blue Monk" motivic elements: Motive 2
Now we want to use motivic element 2 which was. The one without the extension - with the extra two notes. That’s much more musical and there are many more things we could do with it, but I don’t want to make it too advanced at this stage. We’ll mostly stick to that. The problem will come when we get to the diminished bar.
Perhaps we’ll just keep the rhythmic element: durt durtdurt durdur durdur, and not worry too much about intervals because they could be quite tricky. Let’s have a go.
We explore how we might improvise on “Blue Monk” using the second motivic element from the tune.
