I Improvised A Jazz Solo in 6 Different Ways
About this episode
Today, on the podcast I'm going to be sitting down and improvising a little bit over a jazz standard that I like to play and just giving myself an opportunity to explore some new ideas, to allow myself to get musically creative.
I like you to join me in the process and see what you can discover along the way as well.
