JazzMando What's New - We hope you had a chance to catch the week's recent JazzMando "Tips and Tricks (http://jazzmando.com/tips/)" entry on Turnarounds. Of particular note in this week's lesson is a terrific online article by Dr. Matthew Warnick, "Turnarounds: How to Turn One Chord into Four," brought to our attention by friend and jazz mandolin mentor, Paul Glasse. This concise page takes a deep look under the hood stepping you through some heavier music theory concepts like secondary dominants and tritone subs.
For instance, here's one of the later sample turnarounds he details:

Ladybird Turnaround
"This next example is what is commonly referred to as the "Ladybird" turnaround as it comes from the last two bars of the tune written by Tad Dameron. The progression uses the tri-tone subs of the vi chord (Ebmaj7), the ii chord (Abmaj7) and the V chord (Dbmaj7). Though in this case all of the chords are voiced as maj7s instead of the dom7 chords we saw in earlier examples."
