"Sunday" (Jean Goldkette Orchestra 1926) w/cool 8 bar modulation

Lango-Django

I think this 78 has somehow speeded up a little over the years to the point where it is a half key high; I've never known horn players yet who willingly play in E natural as happens for a while in this recording.

Anyway, Lang's hip modulation heard at 1:35 works in any key so for our purposes the original key doesn't matter.

Using this augmented form for four bars X-X-5-4-4-3, he moves the same chord up two frets, then four frets, then six frets until the listener's memory of the original key has been eradicated...

And then he uses new chords to lead into the V7 chord of the target key, Ab (well, I think the original key was actually G, but we won't go into that again...)

Dbm XXX654 Dbm6 XXX656

Eb7 6X564X Eb9 6X5666

As mentioned in the previous thread, that seventh-to-ninth chord sound was a Lang signature and is performed by simply doubling your pinky back over the top three strings. Some commenters have said that they find this position painful, but it works for me...

Django does a similar thing on his intro to Solitude.
