Episode 44Welcome back everyone! This episode concerns one of my favorite tunes in the world, Tadd Dameron’s “Lady Bird.” This tune is a short but amazing and will force you to work on things that you have never encountered before. We are going to b focusing on the last two measures in this episode. Dameron has taken a very common chord progression and put his own spin on it that provides for a beautiful sounding turnaround. In this show we talk about strategies you can use to get around these 2 bars with ease and sound great doing it! Don’t forget to leave us a 5 star review and rating on iTunes, we would really appreciate it!

Keep calm and jazz on. Have fun with this week’s episode!

          If you play a Bb instrument, yes it does. Would be a good skill to have especially if you play a Bb instrument! I hardly ever get music that’s in my key. Let me know if you need help with this….

    The Dameron turnaround has alternately been called the “Coltrane turnaround”.
