I fell in love with this kind of music as a young and mostly musically illiterate listener. It must have made some intuitive sense to me, or I wouldn’t have listened so persistently, but even now, something like Nefertiti can seem like black magic when I try to pick it out by ear. This really helped pinpoint what I must have been picking up on some level and this is a great framework for exploring in greater depth, but also in a way just adds to the appreciation of the unfathomable genius of these musicians. Sincere thanks.

Hey Alex, I've been thinking about understanding jazz harmony better and trying to use it more in my music, and your video pops up. Nice one!

I see that you and I have a similar harmonic concept; but I base it not on the work of Ron Miller, but on the Soviet musicologist Yuzef Kon; who, in the context of decomposition of functionality, proposed a mathematical algorithm for an alternative analysis of the relationships of tensions and relaxations in chord progressions in the music of A. Schoenberg and Alban Berg based on three parameters: chord saturation (interval structure), chord position, chord register (1967).

Very well presented intriguing concepts! Thank you Alex. So many possibilities again to keep an arrangement interesting and "spicy". The use of "AI" tools will increase a lot in all areas. We'll see what we gain and what we loose.

Could you do an analysis of the whiplash pieces like too hip to retire, overture for whiplash, first rehearsal, upsingin

Great video (as always)! Could you follow this up with more on chord progressions as they relate to reharmonization? I sometimes pick chords for color and have a hard time making them work functionally in a progression. I'd love to hear your insight on this topic!
