Shape Shifting - Try This If You Play Jazz

- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- I find exercises like this to be enormously helpful for practicing jazz improvisation. There's something about narrowing the field of options to something measurable, yet still spontaneous and fun, that leaves me feeling challenged AND satisfied with the practice.
These studio lessons go deeper on this practice:
“Stella By Starlight” - Interchangeable Modes and the Value of Repetition

Here's the audio file I looped to practice with:

Great one, take no edits video Bob. That’s a whole other discipline to practice! 😂
Often called "sequencing" in classical music analysis. Very common compositional technique, particularly in the Classical and Romantic periods, etc. Gives the listener a chance to subconsciously anticipate what's coming. More engagement. Super idea for jazz improvisation, which often wanders in a through-composed sort of way, and quickly loses the common man. Love it.
Extremely valuable, thanks a lot.
It is great to see that, even with your fantastic level playing, you still practice with structure, discipline … and fun. Thanks also for being so transparent with the practical aspects of you executing the exercise.
he said “I like this because It keeps me from shredding”
You hit the nail again. This is really effective way of or guidance to find your improvisation. And there are so many collegues which only want to show their technique skills, (Chad LB😂) ....but this is music without a heart in my opinion. So you are aiming for a melodic approach with finally the add of more advanced improvisation. Good job Bob
Bob, that mouthpiece sounds fantastic! The metals ones sounded great but I’m happy to see you back on hard rubber.
I agree
I personally prefer the otto link mouthpiece because it is warmer and less metallic than this one weirdly.
Totally agree
The Link had you in a trance. LOL
Very useful exercise! I hear a lot of players use this in the beginning of their solos (like an ‘opening bid’)- creating a melodic cell and then taking it through the harmonic progression of the tune. Also helps the listener to really lock into the song. Good stuff, thx Bob!
Great stuff, Bob! I am delinquent, but will check out the studio lessons soon.
Practice with my flute. Nice lines on samba jazz.
that mark VI is beautiful ... I no longer play but when i did I had 2 an alto 88k serial number and a tenor 150k ... I sometimes think about buying another one just to own one again but i know it would just sit in the closet and are so expensive now ..
Space is good.
Great Video...
Hey Uncle Bob,you are a real shredderLike Eddie or Yngwie, just with the mouthpiece instead of a pick,great lines,deep knowledge and techniques taught.
His tongue is the pick. The reed is the string.
@@kchappellethanks man! I don't play sax,but i like Bob's music and always listen to what he has to say.
Very good
locrian#2 the best
This, ear first
It's called MOTIVic work ;)
Thank you for the lesson! What backing tracks are you playing on, it sounds so good.
I understand there's a small loop but I was enquiring more from the whole track, thanks
☮️Nice🎶🎵🎶🎷
