hahaha, well, getting lost is good, getting confused is not.. so please tell me if you are confused..
anyways.. i saw the assignment.. It is well done harmonically, but musically it can get a little more interesting... lets go bar per bar..
1st bar:
you start of with E and G for E min7.. that is great
F# and E for the next chord A7... great
E and D for Dm7.... it is good, but watch for the registers... in real life it would sound better an octave higher.. but it is still good.. in fact i would do the same there..
G and B for G7... that is great.. althouh i would have gone to F to target the 7th instead.. then i would have resolved to E when we hit the C maj chord... it makes it smoother and not too scalar..
you repeat the same melody C, B, A, G for 2 bars... there is a problem with this... when we write jazz we want to repeat phrases, not scales.. and if we repeat scales we would rather do 8th or 16th notes.. and most likely we would start on an off beat...
it is not bad harmonically but in a jazz concept this should not happen..
the last bar D7 to G maj i also found a problem... you end the tune like a classical piece.. targeting 5-1 and 1... this would work in a romantic symphony, not really in jazz...
for most jazz players.. the end is the release of climax and we always add a little tension to say "ok, we went thru all this difficult changes and finally we are in the tonal center but it was not too easy.." so you leave a little off note there.. like.. try to end on the 9th, or #11, or 7th... even 3rd, but not the 1... and the D7, when we do our last dominant chord we really throw a nice tension.. like a b9 or 9, or 7th, not 5-1...
remember, it is not mandatory, but if you want your music to sound jazz then add more tension to the endings... it helps
overall, you did the assignment, and didnt have wrong notes or anything.. i saw some nice resolutions with suspensions and passing tones.. really nice..
i will give u your next assignment this weekend.. it is going to be a little longer but before i do it i will post a lesson about this that i just explained...
