Never done a deep dive on BH but I'm very aware of him. It's funny how theory can seek to reduce down so much, the positive and the negative. Kinda like Shanker

Never done a deep dive on BH but I'm very aware of him. It's funny how theory can seek to reduce down so much, the positive and the negative. Kinda like Shankerian, except I would be much more interested in what BH has to say since Shanker was such an terrible person.

I think you're talking about "Schenkerian" analysis, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenkerian_analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenkerian_analysis

I haven't been able to find much of him teaching directly outside of this series from the Lincoln Jazz Institute [0]. However, this person has compiled a thorough overview of the underpinnings [1], provided you can ignore the diminished quality of the first few videos. This foray into jazz actually chewed up a ton of my quarantine free time, for better or worse :) [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8JJncSUdUU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8JJncSUdUU [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdtOj-qz8AM&list=PLjtr-OF8R413C-9G1PP_UpvE0QhfqiUQf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdtOj-qz8AM&list=PLjtr-OF8R4...

  There is an entire chapter, about 20 pages, on Harris's theories in Berkman's The Jazz Harmony Book. It's probably the best harmony book I've ever read because it's extremely down to earth and focuses on worked examples. If you want videos, there's also this playlist from the billgrahammusic youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQgBnh9vUgI&list=PLxxPdgDHUaahFLV9vrz7eT1jPSpvUKdpG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQgBnh9vUgI&list=PLxxPdgDHUa....

    welp looks like I've filled my 2021 theory quota with a single HN post!

  This is why I love HN, thank you for these links! As someone who grew up listening to crappy compressed CDs of early jazz recordings I can easily look past the poor video quality.
