What is harmony in music, if not a way to playfully interact with the tensions and expectations intrinsic in music?
In this episode I dive deep into the harmony of 'Dolphin Dance', one of the most famous standards of modern Jazz. I show how Herbie Hancock's choice of chords delineates a unique, playful journey, perfect for letting our ideas run free.
The challenge is to talk about chords without mentioning chords, about harmony without mentioning harmonic functions. Yeah.
Here is Hancock performing it live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3WXPd6_IuA
