Four Bebop Tunes I Use for Teaching Song Form and Melodic Soloing

Here is a demonstration video about developing melodic soloing and comping using some classic bebop tunes. I demonstrate 4 tunes. Billie's Bounce by Charlie Parker, a 12-bar blues. Oleo by Sonny Rollins, a fast rhythm changes tune. Confirmation by Charlie Parker, a AABA 32-bar tune. Moose the Mooche by Charlie Parker, a slower rhythm changes tune. This collection is from a series I did several years back on Melodic Drum Soloing. Search "Melodic Soloing" on the channel, and you will find the 4-part series The drums used in the video are Gretsch Centennial from 1983. The sizes of these drums are: 18" x 14" bass, 10",12", 14" toms, and a 14"x 6.5" snare. The cymbals in this video are all 1940s- 1950s K Zildjian, except for a Masterworks 24" Swish/China Cymbal sizes 21" K ride 18" K crash/ride w/rivets 15" K Hi Hats 24" Masterworks swish/china with rivets Time Stamps 0:00 Billie's Bounce Example #1 1:24 Billie's Bounce Example #2 2:28 Billie's Bounce Example #3 3:56 Oleo Example #1 5:24 Oleo Example #2 6:35 Confirmation Example #1 7:26 Confirmation Example #2 9:10 Moose the Mooche Example #1 10:32 Moose the Mooche Example #2 The drumheads are all calf skin.
