In part 2 of this insider’s view on John Stowell’s style of teaching and playing, students get further ways of re-thinking how they approach jazz standards by changing meters, reharminizing, introducing tension through melodic minor modes.
3 Standards:
- “All the Things You Are”
- “Triste”
- “Autumn Leaves”
Sub-topics:
- Changing meters
- Incorporating odd meters
- Reharminizing a standard
- Using the implied five
- Working with melodic minor modes to introduce tension over the dominant
Expected Outcome:
Learn to apply new ideas for soloing, adding new chords for comping and solo ideas, improving ability to internalize and memorize chord progressions.
