Advanced

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.

I'm Your Pal by Steve Swallow Vibe Solo by David Kovins

Improvising on Green Dolphin Street using the improv concept of Four Note Groupings which is a chapter in the just released The Complete Guide To Improvisation - Volume Two. The technique uses triads with a passing note as a means of generating lines. For major triads we can use 1,2,3 and 5. For minor triads we can use 1,2,b3 and 5 or 1,b3,4 and 5. In the clip, I'm playing the last 8 bars of the tune to set up the tune. The first chorus is a written out solo based on the Four Note Grouping concept.
