There’s been a lot of buzz in the jazz literature lately about “enclosures.” That’s a 50 cent word with a meaning similar to the classical “Cambiata.” It’s generally a 3-note figure in which the first 2 notes lie above and below the final target note, a chord tone. A perfect example would be the first 5 notes of “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” as shown below.
