Session Title: Going Beyond the Blues – Ideas for Developing Improvisation in Jazz
Session Description: This clinic will focus on developing improvisation skills in young jazz musicians that go beyond the traditional blues scale. Too frequently the standard blues scale is the only thing in the toolbox of the beginning soloist, leading to solos that all sound alike and frequently don’t fit the context of the song being performed. Alternate scales, melodic ideas, phrasing, and listening for style will all be topics of conversation and demonstration.
