My review of our February transcription challenge. Very, very impressed with the excellent submissions on a tough challenge.

Almost twenty minutes of me shedding just two bars of “Stella By Starlight,” starting with some practicable vocabulary. I’ll show you how I practice looping individual lines and eventually spin it out into full improvisation.

My review of our January transcription challenge. Excellent work, as always!
Motifs, rhythmic approaches, bebop scales, and one of my FAVORITE go-to harmonic tricks.

One of my all-time favorite recordings. Lots of innovative material with minor chords and intervals, a great altissimo workout, and exemplary use of the rhythmic density scale.
