Jazz Arranging: Transforming Tunes Using Rhythmic & Melodic Variation

I just posted a short tutorial
on the concept of using rhythm
and melodic variation to help
make an old standard melody
sound new again.

Its only about 3-4 minutes.
Go to the link below to check it out.

Over the next month or so I will
be posting a bunch of lessons that cover
a variety of topics: composing new tunes
over standards changes,
new tunes over different modal structures,
tunes over blues changes, etc.

In the fall, I will be putting together
a limited enrollment class to work
on these concepts as a group. You will
have the ability to post your work (pdf and mp3)
for others to comment on and study.

We will then take class member tunes and
write charts on them. I think it will be
alot of fun, and really cool to have a
"mastermind" composing arranging group.

I'll keep you posted on that in the coming
months, but for now, check out the latest at this
link.
