Are you tired of blue bossa? I don´t like the song too much also. But i think it´s a good study and best of it to play it the way you might like it more. I tried this today. One good thing about tonys do it in all keys is, that i could…

So this was kind of a difficult lesson to create because it basically happens when I'm doing a one-on-one lesson. In the lesson we talk about something like comping, or soloing, work time, or whatever. Then usually I come up with some…

Here is a lesson on harmonic and melodic tonics. I never knew this by these terms, however, thanks to Stephan Harris I now do. It sounds to me like guys like Michael Brecher and Bob Mintzer do this sort of thing a lot. Microphone off
