Enclosures are an absolutely HUGE part of authentic bebop language. This week, I'm gonna show you a bit more than the average youtube video on the subject tends to. We'll of course learn about the basic cells and go over how they work to surround, or "enclose" the target note of the scale or chord. After that though, the training wheels come off and we'll dive deep into actually using them in contexts that make sense musically and lead towards playing interesting bebop phrases.
First, I'll show you a few exercises that combine enclosures with diatonic arpeggios and pivots. We'll play these in a few different configurations and with some different rhythmic applications. We'll also practice stringing together multiple enclosure patterns to keep delaying the resolution of a line or phrase.
Next, I'll show you guys how you can use enclosures over a static chord to make some really interesting lines by just targeting chord tones. Then, we'll take a look at one of my favorite phrases from legendary tenor saxophone player Dexter Gordon and use it as some inspiration for our own lines. Finally, we'll play an etude of four phrases over a ii-V-I-VI progression using everything we've learned.
