Dim and Aug Patterns
Here are some very Coltrane-like diminished and augmented patterns transcribed off of tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander’s performance of the song “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” on his CD titled The Second Milestone. These are just little snippets of patterns and I transcribed them into all keys. The diminished patterns run from measures 1 to 6 and the augmented patterns run from measures 7 to 12. I have also provided mp3 snippets.

We had a fantastic time playing at Gordon Biersch in San Jose during last Sunday’s brunch! It was a beautiful day, the crowd was enthusiastic, we were very warmly received, and the food and beer were excellent! 
It just doesn’t get any better than that! It is really a nice space to play in, and thanks to Chris’ new sound system, we really filled it up with a big full sound. We christened our 4 newest songs – 3 composed by our keyboardist Philip Bernosky (New Year’s Resolution, Brecker Peak, and No Money No Time), and one called Tequila Mon Jaro by the band. 
We’re lining up something special for our next time there (Sept. 10, 2006). Thanks to all who attended!
