Question
This is the first title word of a Wes Mongomery standard that opens with a guitar and bass repeating the unison quarter notes “G, high D, C, high G.” Eddie Vinson claimed authorship of a Miles Davis song with this one-word title, which follows 32-bar ABAC form and was recorded by Davis’s First Great Quintet on Workin’. The scale degree of this number is raised in a mode that can be built from the circle of fifths and is the only mode with no “avoid notes,” as noted in a 1953 theory book by George Russell. Bill Evans used harmony based on (*) stacked intervals of this number on Miles Davis’s “So What.” This number partially titles a Nina Simone song told from the perspectives of women like Saffronia and Peaches. A seventh chord built on this scale degree follows the first I (“one”) chord in a blues progression. A common Swing Era drum groove in which the bass drum is hit on every beat is named “[this number] on the floor.” For 10 points, what scale degree is also called the subdominant? ■END■
