Rhythm Changes
In this collection we are going to cover 8 variations of the classic chord progression Rhythm Changes. This progression is an important ‘right of passage’ for any jazz musician. It is also a great progression to work through re-harmonization and improvisation. We will learn the various chord progressions and basslines. New ways of expanding rhythm changes, outside changes, back-cycling, tri-tone substitutions, improvisation and more will also be covered!
