In episode #32, James & Jeff ask, are a YouTube fan? If so, that's great. Having all that information at our fingertips is incredible. But . . . are you playing better because of it, or are you more or less wasting time? Both are possible, but for most of us, it's really the latter. You do not need MORE information, you need CURATED information. Today, Jeff and James lay out their thoughts on the matter.

In episode #31, James and Jeff will tell you a sad truth . . . you can play the notes correctly, and have all the rhythms right, and STILL not sound very good. What the heck!? Well, how you serve up the solo is as important as the solo itself. Today, we look at a few aspects of style, including shading and tapering, vibrato and bends. Let's dig into it!!

In episode #30, James and Jeff are talking about big band and ensemble playing. Whether you are playing in a funk horn section or a Count Basie big band, knowing the rules of the road (on all instruments) is crucial. It's a different mindset, and it's definitely a "team sport." Let's break it down a bit!

In episode #29, it's Altered Scales! Nothing in our study of jazz strikes more fear and loathing into the hearts of musicians than the Altered Scale. Confusing and complicated, perplexing and problematic, the Altered Scale is responsible for incredible amounts of wasted hours and psychotherapy bills. If only there was an easier way . . . Guess what? There's an easier way. Let's dig in!

In episode #28, Today we are talking Bending Notes. Yes, this is a super important element of style in jazz, and something that all the greats used to some extent. That said, it is also very easy to overdo, so we end up sounding totally sub-amateur. Yikes. How to get this correct? James and Jeff dive into this idea and talk about when, where, why and how.

In episode #27, James and Jeff talk about Momentum! Not just for cement trucks and bowling balls, momentum is hugely important in jazz. How are some improvisers able to play lines that seem to have incredible and inexorable direction? Why do their solo sound "right," but our solos, using the same notes, just "don't have it?" By adjusting just two things, we can find more momentum and energy in our playing, almost immediately. Enlightenment awaits!

In episode #175, Jeff brings to light something that all jazz players, whether novices or semi-pros need to be aware of . . . CLARITY is your goal. Jazz musicians sometimes get wrapped up in thinking that being clever and obtuse and complicated is the way to go. The great John Coltrane's solo on Bessie's Blues is "Exhibit A" in the argument that clarity of vision and thought is the path forward. It worked for Trane, it'll work for you, and Jeff will lead you through this steps to get there.

In episode #56, we talk about how to learn songs, about how to get ready to improvise on a tune. And no, this isn't some dumbed down approach that no pro ever actually used. This is what Jeff Antoniuk uses, this is what he teaches his students, and this is what Michael Brecker used to practice (you'll hear the story).

We offer THREE approaches, and perhaps the biggest one practice concept you'll ever be introduced to. Most players miss it, so let's talk straight and get everyone practicing and player better!

In episode #41 we investigate something that is highly undervalued and under-taught . . . Phrasing!! Forget your fancy altered scales and diminished axis systems - Phrasing is sexier that ALL that stuff! It's what makes us sound like we know what we are doing, it keeps us from getting lost in the changes, and it is a key to sounding more "modern" and advanced in our playing. Perfect for all levels of players, and all instruments.

FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS !
In this episode #1, we introduce the series and lay out our plan for some amazing jazz tips for all instruments that will be following. We also talk about “The Bottle Neck,” where the resistance comes from in our practice and our development. Where do things slow down, and why? HINT - most of us are usually wrong about the cause! We also introduce a simple but deep way to think about music. If you don’t already think this way, begin NOW.
