Look! Five comments now. What's the break point for a post? Sometimes I get no comments but do you hear me moaning about it? Oh no, I just suck it up and get on with it. Anyway, weren't you practising when recording those little musical videos or does practising have to be endless and uninteresting noise ... oh ... carry on.
MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION is a complicated-sounding procedure that is basically just a second fermentation designed to remove malic acid from wine. Why? Because malic acid has a sharper, more typically acidic taste, and through secondary fermentation is can become lactic acid, which is smoother, softer and has a buttery, milky flavour often associated with fine Chardonnay wines.
Okay, I'll try to explain. Music, like life, is a balance - almost like between good and evil, but maybe more between light and dark. To play a dominant 7th chord, while improvising, and only using the safe notes is like cooking without using spices. The 'wrong' notes give us colour, especially if they magically blend with other 'wrong' notes. To find magic you have to look through the cracks to see where the light comes from.

Well, they got that wrong.
So, for the time it took to do this post, I lost at least an hour's practice and got one comment. .
There's a lesson.

A dominant 7th is made up of 1 3 5 b7 and, yes, a 9 will work too.
Here I was using 3 5 b7 b9 - a diminished 7 chord.

Two minor 3rds equal an augmented 4th.

"...and through secondary fermentation is can become lactic acid,..."
Gosh, I never knew that 'is' was part of the wine making process. It should be called MALOLACTIC IS FERMENTATION.
Maybe that's where the saying 'it is what it is' came from?

If you don't understand that Rob, your jazz theory has a fairly long way to go. Probably presumptuous to consider yourself a musical snob.

It might have been grave robbers.
