Upper Structures: Triads Volume 1 G to O (C Instruments): Over Complete Jazz Standards Progressions

By Ariel J Ramos

Please find the song index (103 Jazz Standards Progressions with upper structure triads) at the end of this description.This volume is part of the complete set of 1000+ Jazz Standards in three volumes split alphabetically in 3 books (A to F, G to O, P to Z) with around 100 songs each with upper structure triads over every chord that allows a major, minor or augmented triad as an upper structure.In other words, instead of giving you a list of upper structure triads to use on every chord, we show you the application of this concept over the complete jazz repertoire. It includes: Jazz Standards (Original Progressions) with Upper Structure Triads.All progressions show Major, Minor or Augmented Triads as upper structures over every chord.Knowing how to voice chords is an essential skill, not only for comping (accompanying or laying the chord progression for others player to improvise over), but also to use those voicings as an improvisational aid. Many players get their melodic ideas or lines from chord voicings. There are many ways of practicing and developing a chord-voicings vocabulary.A standard approach is to stack simple structures (triads, quartals, dyads) on top of other simple ones, thus creating a richer color palette for your voicings. These structures are usually called Upper Structures.The standard approach to study and practice upper structures is to obtain a list of triads (from your teacher, or a book) that work well on certain type of chords and then practice that combination in all keys. These methods do not usually consider the function that the chord might be playing in a progression leading to a lack of understanding of when to use a certain upper structure over a chord. Why does this upper structure work here but not there?This book shows complete jazz standards progressions with upper structures triads. The upper structures have been chosen using a chord/chord-scale pairing method to determine which upper structure to use over a chord depending on their current harmonic function in a progression.This amazing collection is unique in the Jazz World.Index of Jazz Standards Progressions in this book: GEE BABY, AIN'T I GOOD TO YOUGIANT STEPSGOD BLESS' THE CHILDGRAND CENTRALGROOVIN' HIGHGUILTYGYPSY IN MY SOULHALF NELSONHAVE YOU MET MISS JONES?HEAVENHEEBIE JEEBIESHELLO, YOUNG LOVERSHERE'S THAT RAINY DAYHOT TODDYHOW HIGH THE MOONHOW INSENSITIVEI CAN'T GET STARTED WITH YOUI CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVEI COULD WRITE A BOOKIF YOU NEVER COME TO MEI GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN'T GOODI LET A SONG GO OUT OF MY HEARTI'LL NEVER SMILE AGAINI'LL REMEMBER APRILI LOVE PARISI LOVE YOUI'M ALL SMILESI'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHTI MEAN YOUIN A MELLOW TONEIN A SENTIMENTAL MOODINTERPLAYIN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNINGINVITATIONIN YOUR QUIET PLACEI REMEMBER CLIFFORDI SHOULD CAREISN'T IT ROMANTICISOTOPEISRAELIT DON'T MEAN A THINGIT'S EASY TO REMEMBERI WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREEJELLY ROLLJORDUJOURNEY TO RECIFEJOY SPRINGJUMP MONKJUNE IN JANUARYJUST ONE MORE CHANCEKELOLADY BIRDLADY SINGS THE BLUESLAMENTLAS VEGAS TANGOLAZY BIRDLAZY RIVERLIKE SOMEONE IN LOVELIMEHOUSE BLUESLITTLE BOATLITTLE WALTZLONG AGO (AND FAR AWAY)LONNIE'S LAMENTLOOK TO THE SKYLOVE IS THE SWEETEST THINGLUCKY SOUTHERNLULLABY OF BIRDLANDLUSH LIFEMAHJONGMEDITATIONMEMORIES OF TOMORROWMIDNIGHT MOODMILANOMINORITYMISTYMIYAKOMOMENT'S NOTICEMOOD INDIGOMR.
