[00:01:46]So, I can still play these kind of chords, [music] you know.

[00:01:52]We'll see what happens.

[00:01:56]This is called uh Relaxing the Camarillo written by uh Charlie Parker and um I learned it from a record by Joe Pass called the Pashionata.

[00:08:27]or [music] [ __ ] Now, here's what I'm thinking of.

[00:09:05]The hell is it?

[00:09:12]That isn't it.

[00:09:31]>> [music] >> But we got some moon beams. It's a better way to do that though.

[00:09:39][music] There it is.

[00:09:45]Tritone sub or I just call it this chord. This one. This one. Discord.

[00:09:51]>> [music] >> But give it a name. Does it make it sound better? Does it make it sound worse? [ __ ] all that. Use your ear.

[00:10:06][music] Going to go to the relative minor.

[00:10:13][music] There's relative minor.

[00:10:18]Minor that.

[00:10:20]Back to one 3 6 2 5.

[00:10:28]I'm going to the second half of the tune. Then he goes a major 2 five a.

[00:10:35]It's 1625 2 5 1 2 5 again.

[00:10:59]I make it dominant. two, E minor, A minor, D7, G minor.

[00:11:20]Ah, son, [ __ ] Yeah, my you're right. That [ __ ] asshole's right, [music] you know, started playing in Philadelphia after that first record came out. I played at Chris's Jazz Cafe with when it was owned by Chris Dmitri.

[00:11:49]And um I gave him the idea that he shouldn't be paying the band out of the cash register, out of the booze money. Why don't you charge a cover charge?

[00:12:01]And he agreed to it. It was only $5.

[00:12:05]And uh I remember sitting with there with him on a Saturday night and it was the first place in Philadelphia to charge a cover charger. First place. So he took the hit.

[00:12:20]people were walking away. He stuck he stuck he stuck it stuck it out and he still paid the band, you know, uh, Philadelphia no recognition to Chris Dmitri for doing it or me. Okay. Um, I feel slighted by the city of Philadelphia to tell you the truth. They have a walk of shame or walk of you know those things on Broad Street little plaques like they have every [ __ ] in the world.

[00:12:52]Well, I shouldn't say [ __ ] Some of them are really good players. [music] Never did [ __ ] for [music] me.

[00:13:09][music] Dukane University in Pittsburgh did a lot for me. A lot. A lot.

[00:13:22]Maybe I'm a little bitter, [music] but I'm right. [ __ ] you.

[00:13:32]I mean, this is my hometown.

[00:13:38]It's a shame what happened to the city of Philadelphia.

[00:13:47][music] I sometimes I see it on the national news.

[00:13:53]Some [ __ ] up [ __ ] that the city did.

[00:14:00]I [music] think it's being run by morons corrupt, too.

[00:14:10][music] Well, I think I'm tired of this [ __ ] right now.

[00:14:17]So, this is Doornob University part two.

[00:14:20]There probably be I like this Doornob University [ __ ] [music] the the the meteorologists are all go all going crazy with the uh smoke from Canada and [ __ ] and so here they they take a picture of center city Philadelphia in the morning you know look air's [ __ ] up anyway here look Canada's fires I don't smell [ __ ] I'm 23 miles from Philadelphia so but they're in they're jumping up and down on a [clears throat] [ __ ] map and over here and over here and this is [ __ ] up. That's [ __ ] up. Oh, look at that. They Why do they jump up and down?

[00:15:49]Dizzy Gillespie intro. [music] If Bach were alive, he may have written that. You know, I don't mean Johan Sebastian Bach. I'm talking about my cousin Vinnie Bach. He has a fish stand in the Italian market and you know on the weekends he writes you know [music] there's a verse to that [music] I have the music for that too.
