Dexter Gordon's Most Used Harmonic Device #shorts

Dexter's most used harmonic device isn't some fancy substitution it's harmonic reduction and this is basically where you remove or ignore some of the chords but while still keeping the basic function of the harmony the same he'll reduce a 2-5 progression down to just the five chord bars 68 to 69 of that same solo have a super clear example of this did you hear that he just arpeggiates that five chord the F7 and he completely ignores the two chords the C minor seven F arpeggio with the added flat and nine harmonic reduction
