Looking for deArmond switch

OP: It helps to think of the word "changes" literally: that is, focus your improv practice on the *transition* from chord to chord (e.g. how the 3rd and 7th move); the "tonal center/chord-scale"...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

I'm not saying pitches are irrelevant, and I completely agree with what you say about line shape. But If I were to talk about pitch collections to make one's playing sound jazzier, I wouldn't dwell...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

Nice one Lawson! We are doing Jeff's Time After Time arrangement for the next two weeks. There's a new thread for that tune so am hoping that you can join us there. By practicing and...

Here's That Rainy Day - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold Tune #1

I'm planning at trip to Zurich (since I can get a direct flight from Los Angeles to there): Any good jazz clubs that you can recommend? (from there I'm planning on taking some of those Swiss...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

I think key center playing is modal jazz stuff reverse applied to swing and bebop. You can get through a solo with it, but it won't sound um... period authentic, might be the right phrase. You're...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center

I love the tune and already have several clips of my own take on it, but I haven't gotten to learning the Arnold arrangement yet. I love making these clips and hope to do the Arnold this week. I can...

Here's That Rainy Day - Jazz Ballads by Jeff Arnold Tune #1

You can play key center AND still play changes...once you get decent at it. Somebody told me years ago (and I've adopted it as my kind of mantra) you basically want to get to a point where you...

Playing the changes vs. playing over the key center
