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!

James and Jeff have two very powerful, and immediately actionable ideas for you here today. 15 minutes from now, and your ballad playing will make grown men cry. In a good way.
