The 7 Levels of Jazz Harmony
Added 2019-08-30 05:08:31 +0000 UTCHey everybody!
This video goes through the 7 levels of Jazz Harmony. We'll explore each of them through reharmonizing the chorus of one of my favorite tunes from 2019 - Lizzo's Juice.
These 7 levels aren't meant to be exhaustive in terms of the harmonic techniques of jazz musicians - there really are way too many to get into for a single YouTube video - but they can be useful as a general guide to the feeling of different kinds of harmonic ideas. As an added bonus, they're roughly in chronological order in terms of when each level occurred on the timeline of jazz history, although no single musician was ever working so formally.
Hope you enjoy!
Peace,
Adam
