In episode #182, Jeff looks at a good old jazz acronym (yes, there is such a thing!) from back in the day: CESH. "Contrapuntal Elaboration of Static Harmony" sounds pretty scary, but it's not very complicated, and you've heard it a million times. Let's get USING this great device in our soloing and comping today!

In episode #181, Jeff wants dearly for you to swing better and harder. So what do we do . . . Wish for it? Make a pilgrimage to New Orleans? Practice more scales. Nope! New Orleans is fun, but just work on these three ideas, and you'll be in FAR better swinging shape in short order.

In episode #180, Jeff talks about three different types of ii-V progressions that we routinely see, all from the perspective of the humble "ii" chord. This is a great way to dig deeper into the harmony that you might already know. Time to bump up your playing, understanding, and your hearing a notch!

In episode #179, we talk about probably the most important aspect of jazz improvisation that gets talked about the least . . . Phrasing. If you are a novice getting lost in the changes a lot, it's your phrasing. If you are an intermediate who wants to sound like your heroes more, you'll need to sort out your phrasing. Pros, looking to develop your personal sound? You guessed it. Phrasing!

In episode #178, Jeff demystifies how John Coltrane thinks about his song Mr. PC, and minor chords in general . . . Melodic Minor. This isn't one of the first jazz scales and sounds we work with, but for an intermediate or advanced adult player, it's the perfect "next step." Let's see what the big deal is about Melodic Minor.

In episode #177, Jeff takes us gently by the hand and suggests that we should learn to play in 7/4. YES, like, in seven. Here's the thing . . . there's a trick to doing this without your head exploding, and a trick to sounding natural and grooving too. Tune in, and let's get to work.

In episode #175, Jeff brings to light something that all jazz players, whether novices or semi-pros need to be aware of . . . CLARITY is your goal. Jazz musicians sometimes get wrapped up in thinking that being clever and obtuse and complicated is the way to go. The great John Coltrane's solo on Bessie's Blues is "Exhibit A" in the argument that clarity of vision and thought is the path forward. It worked for Trane, it'll work for you, and Jeff will lead you through this steps to get there.
