bopland Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hi there, I would like to suggest a new feature: Publishing licks on the forum. Here's an idea: http://my.bopland.org The service is absolutely free, contains no ads and can be turned on/off quickly. It doesn't impact the forum in either way, except showing nice licks with playback option. Here's an example working on saxforum.org: http://saxforum.org/showthread.php?t=16359 Please, write me a PM or an email if you have any questions or need a technical assistance. Best, BopLand.org Edited January 18, 2011 by BopLand.org Quote
JSngry Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Who would be the licker and who would be the lickee? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Can't make up my mind - licker or lickee. Both sound good. Technical assistance not needed here. I found a way to be both! Quote
bopland Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I might have made a mistake posting the topic here. I thought it was a kind of a suggestion box. Sorry for that, guys. Edited January 18, 2011 by BopLand.org Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 That is actually really cool in the way you can code notation relatively simply. I think the main reasons it wouldn't be used here though are: -99.9% of the discussions here are non-technical, along the lines of "whoa, that Bird record is awesome" rather than "let's examine how Bird used enclosures to ornament the chord tones on the ii-V-Is on Donna Lee." That's the main reason the little-used "Musician's Forum" exists here - to wall off the nerdy musician-speak from the rest of the board, which couldn't care less about such things. -Those of us who occasionally engage in the other 0.1% are probably too lazy to learn how to use the feature.

That seems to be the right choice until you have too many threads with theoretical discussions. Thank you the reply. Kind Regards, BopLand.org Quote
Big Wheel Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I don't know if the term was coined by David Baker, but I remember reading it long ago in one of his bebop books. See the third post in this thread for a halfway lucid explanation: http://forums.allaboutjazz.com/showthread.php?t=14436 An example is the pickup to bar 5 of Donna Lee. Maybe not the most classic case (because the note being enclosed is the 11th of the Bb minor chord rather than a more basic chord tone like the 3rd) but seems like it fits to me. Quote
