Want to sound more authentic when you improvise over a medium swing tune?
In this guided play-along session, I’ll help you develop your phrasing, feel, and confidence over a real jazz standard — with simple, effective exercises you can follow in real time.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to start your solos with clarity and direction using chord tones
✅ How to apply approach notes and enclosures without overthinking
✅ How to leave space, develop motifs, and feel the pocket at a true medium swing tempo
✅ Why swing feel matters more than speed — and how to build it into your fingers
🎧 Grab your instrument and follow along — I’ll comp for you, trade solos, and guide you through a full chorus or two with professional-level phrasing strategies.
