I practice and hone my skills with the goal of becoming a better (dare I say "good") jazz improviser. In this section, you can read about the methods I use to improve and you can listen to recordings of my playing. The recordings will help you determine if any of the stuff I'm doing actually works ;-). Be sure to check out the following entries: Learning to improvise - introduction // Learning to improvise - listening // Learning to improvise - ear training // Learning to improvise - rhythm // Learning to improvise - motifs // Learning to improvise - vocal improv // Learning to improvise - transcription // Learning to improvise - jazz theory // Daily recordings - 2007 // Exercise - note limiting // Exercise - freeform improvisation
Archived "Jazz Improvisation" blog entries are listed in the left-hand column.
