All Blues 11/4 metrum

**kris** · 11-24-2021, 08:02 AM

I found an arrangement of Dave Liebman's All Blues backing track in 11/4 by chance.
I simplified the idea and wrote down the chords for Band in The Box.
I struggle with it because it is very difficult.
However, this opens up new horizons of modern playing.
Hell, I have to work on this a lot.

Indeed, that's challenging! But it still has the right "vibe" for this tune.

Thanks Lawson-stone.
Dave Liebman is a great jazz musician.
If I'm not mistaken, Miles Davies called him frequently, asking him to name musicians for Miles's new band.

ps.
I've never played a 11/4 time signature before.

There is my another take of All Blues.A good backing motivates me to play boldly...:-)

That's nutz! I like it! How do you count a measure of 11? I don't hear much grouping by the drumming within a bar.

Thanks.
I count 3 +3 +3 +2.
This is the easiest way to improvise in order not to get lost, it is a challenge, you have to be vigilant.
I am constantly afraid that I will fall out of the time metrum signature ...

It's such a lame waltz.
