BLACK FRIDAY OPENS 11/28 — Lifetime Access to Jazz Piano School
👉 https://jazzpianoschool.com/black-friday-2025/
Slow swing is one of the most beautiful — and most misunderstood — styles in jazz piano. Most players rush, overplay, or fill too much space, and the groove disappears.
In this lesson, I break down the four secrets that instantly make your slow swing playing sound deeper, more grounded, and more professional. These concepts work whether you’re comping, playing solo piano, or improvising.
You’ll learn:
• How to create a pocket at slow tempos
• The right way to comp in space
• What makes LH bass lines feel good
• How to build melodic phrases that swing
• How to let the music breathe
These ideas come straight from the Proficient Jazz Pianist system — and they build the foundation for Goal 3 (Improvisation), releasing on Black Friday.
