In this 3 hour video course, Ben presents a system of improvisation based on chord tone enclosures and approach notes. Using ideas of tension and release, this system provides a method of honestly and effectively dealing with all the main chord types we come across in Jazz, demonstrating in detail how to create melodic and compelling solos without memorizing endless scales or modes.
