In this video, I delve into a fundamental debate in contemporary jazz: the balance between technical proficiency and musical expression. I'm challenging the prevalent notion that "more notes equals better improvisation" and exploring how the current trend towards constant streams of jump cuts in videos mirrors the rush to cram as many notes as possible into jazz solos.
Through insights and a very practical exercise, I'm encouraging you to reconsider your approach to improvisation. Drawing from the legacies of jazz icons like Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Oscar Peterson, I'm emphasizing the importance of storytelling and emotional resonance in jazz performance, rather than mere technical prowess.
The video introduces a unique exercise using my play-along platform, Groovz Playground, designed to help musicians focus on crafting melodic phrases with depth and authenticity. By slowing down and prioritizing musical expression over virtuosity, I challenge you to explore the true essence of your jazz improvisation.
