In jazz improvisation, utilizing triad pairs in the 3-1-3-5 pattern adds complexity and interest to melodic lines. For instance, using C major (C-E-G) and D major (D-F#-A) triads:
- E (3rd of C major),
- C (root of C major),
- E (3rd of C major),
- G (5th of C major),
- F# (3rd of D major),
- D (root of D major),
- F# (3rd of D major),
- A (5th of D major).
John Coltrane famously integrated similar triad pair techniques in his improvisations, notably in albums like *Giant Steps," where such patterns enhance fluidity and complexity in solos. This method offers jazz musicians a pathway to crafting more dynamic and intriguing improvisations.
