Once you recognize it, you’ll start hearing it everywhere, from simple tunes to jazz standards. We’ll explore WHAT it is, WHY it sounds so good, & WAYS to glide through it with ease. Once you’ve got it, improvising becomes much easier (and more fun!). You’ll find yourself writing cool jazz before you know it!
