Episode 97: The Never Ending Exercise Part 1

This week is all about an exercise that combines two important concepts in jazz: fourths and triads. If I had to pick some of the most important facets of music with which to work your butt off, these would be on the top of the list. You may have even heard some of these exercises before, but what makes it the never ending exercise is the amount of options and variations you can create within a simple concept. Part 1 goes into some of the more simple forms this progression can take. Next week … [Read more...]

Episode 96: Branford Marsalis Flexes On Night In Tunisia

Branford Marsalis is a one-of-a-kind musician. He has developed his own unique sound and approach to playing the saxophone and should be an inspiration to us all. This week we are going to look at some great material he plays over the bridge to one of my favorite tunes: Night In Tunisia. This tune is a must know for all of us jazz musicians and what better way to kick start our learning of this Dizzy Gillespie classic than to check out how Branford Handles the bridge and take some of that … [Read more...]

March 2, 2018 by Nick Mainella Leave a Comment

Episode 95: Perfecting The Turnaround On The Blues

Last week we talked about using the VI chord in measure 8 of the blues. This week we are talking about another spot we can use this chord to give us some forward motion into the next chorus and make our solos more compelling. As we get more advanced as players, we like to add more and more to the progression because we can handle it. This is one of the last additions I make with my students because it's tough and requires some quick thinking. Enjoy the episode and don't forget to download the … [Read more...]
