·INTERMEDIATE·Standards·1 lesson
In Part 2 of their conversation, John and Jamie use “Nobody Else But Me” (Jerome Kern’s last song) as a context to discuss variations on standard diatonic harmony and the use of the melody as a way to internalize form and create motific solos. Other topics covered include modulations, open string voicings, diminished chords referenced as altered dominant chords, and broader applications of cadences to apply to other tunes. In addition to their interpretations of the melody, John and Jamie also exchange choruses and fours over the changes To “Nobody Else But Me” and discuss the harmony to this beautiful but obscure standard.
