In episode #193, Jeff goes to bat for the idea of using patterns in our playing, comping and composition. Good architecture, design, and art use patterns constantly, as does nature. Who are we to argue with that? Let's dig in to how to work effectively with patterns, and what the pitfalls are.

In episode #191, Jeff implores us to improvise LESS in our improvised solos. What does this mean, how would it work, and is Jeff crazy? Good questions.

In episode #190, we have a video for every level of player, from jazz novice to recording artist. We begin by looking at the melodic awesomeness of the pentatonic scale, over the I VI ii V progression ("the turnaround). From there, we take that same pentatonic scale, and use it to help us play outside the chord changes. This video is going to flip on some light switches for a lot of us. Invest 10 minutes in a better jazz you!!
