Pentatonics and Maj 7 #5 Superimposition on Green Dolphin Street

This was taped at a lesson last week at Berklee. Pianist GaYoung Bae is an excellent pianist at Berklee who was in the Global Jazz Program and is now in the Masters Program. She is taking an hour lesson with me this semester focusing on advanced improvisation concepts along with superb bassist SeungHa Lee who accompanies us while applying the concepts. It is a real pleasure working on improv concepts with these great students and high level players.
