Sharp Eleven Music

Is there a lick or line you absolutely LOVE but you can't put your finger on what it is that makes your heart move faster about it?

In this case, we're talking about when you've already figured out the notes and how to play it, but you just can't work out the mechanics about why it sounds so great.

We want to do a video in the near future trying to answer these and help you out with some jazz mysteries.


To be clear: this is not an open call to just reference lick you like and have us transcribe that. You provide us with a (snippet of a) transcription and a clear audio reference i.e. Chick Corea - Spain (album: Light As A Feather) timestamp 2:45 - 2:52 . You can also use a lick form one of our videos of course! No need to send the sheet music in that case, we still have that... I think.

If you have one for us, you can send that to info@sharpelevenmusic.com , but please, share it also in the comments so that people get some inspiration already and can look it up themselves, that will be fun!

Any questions, let us know in the comments as well!

Gene Harris plays this super tasty lick on a solo break. 1:10-1:14 from “Have You Met Miss Jones? - Live At The Blue Note, New York City, New York” off of the Ray Brown Trio’s album “Live From New York To Tokyo”. (Also, that whole song is incredible) I learned it in a bunch of keys and it’s my go to lick for solo breaks now. Gotta love a blues lick filled with chromaticism, right?
