About this masterclass
Randy Johnston teaches a practical approach to improvising on Rhythm Changes with greater ease, confidence, and harmonic and melodic freedom. He presents two basic versions of the Rhythm Changes A section, explains the harmonies in each, and provides specific written phrases to match those harmonies — then shows how to simplify the changes so you can construct your own, more melodic solos.
What's covered
- Rhythm Changes A-section chord changes, in two versions
- Specific written lines to play over those changes
- Harmonic reduction to simplify the changes, with examples
For intermediate and advanced players who want a clearer path through one of jazz's most-called progressions. The full class video includes a download.
