So I said I'd start to be accountable and post video of things I"m working on. This is a start. Starting reading through this yesterday. Harder than it looked! So many nuances with time, phrasing, pedaling, etc. So, a work in progress! I did analyze it as Tony recommended. Posted an image of the page here too.
If you know the changes to Miss Jones and know the melody, here's a simple melodic solo to transcribe.
If you transcribe it, post it here.
You can hear the tune in the solo, right? You hear the harmony right? And I'm playing so little to make this work. Can you do a version of this?
Looking forward to being in Aruba next week to perform in two concerts as well as present a masterclass on jazz improvisation. Thanks to Carlos Bislip for inviting me to headline the jazz festival and give the masterclass. Carlos has assembled a talented group of students who will be playing with me. It’s been a pleasure coaching them the past month via Skype. We’ll be playing some classic standards including “It Could Happen To You” which I’m playing here in this brief clip.
