C Dorian Bebop — Piano

C Dorian Bebop carries 8 notes per octave (bebop family), drawn here straight onto the Piano's keys with every root pinned — no tablature in between, the keyboard is the map.

Dorian with a chromatic passing tone slipped between the b3 and the 4 — eight notes, so chord tones keep landing on the strong beats in a run of eighth notes. Cool, flowing, and swinging.

Heard in: Bebop and straight-ahead jazz lines over minor seventh chords — Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and the Barry Harris approach.

The Piano answers touch, so practice these maps at more than one dynamic — the pattern is the same, but the hand that plays it soft and loud owns it twice.
