Nick swings so sweet! Love this cats approach. 👊🏾👊🏾

One thing Clark Terry always stressed was swinging.

Sounds amazing

Congratulations sir for your efforts and study hours with that awesome instrument. 💗 This sounds extremely beautiful. Wish you the best

Big fan of deep dive teaching resources like this for jazz. Classically trained bassoonist, was never able to fit jazz improv into my curriculum but always wanted to learn.

What’s you use a mouthpiece sir?

Another gem by Mainella! As ALWAYS, thank you, Nick!

Your solo reminds me of a solo I heard Sonny Rollins played.

I wish Philip Glass had had known of that exercise, before he started composting ......

I have to think about this one. The act of learning the exercise will teach you what to focus on? I’ve been doing the opposite. On the Jazz Intensive site I’m playing major ii V Is with the diminished scale over the V chord. I decided what I wanted to focus on and THEN started playing the exercise

Sam , you are the best!

This cat is Ice Cold! I’m tryna be like you bruh.

What is open triad?

What is that you just played, sir?

Do you have the exercise you played?

I'm pretty sure Brecker thought of the first 2 measures as A7alt. all the notes except the Ab are in the altered scale. He liked to think of the altered as a half step above the V7, minor (major 7) (for example, here its BbmM7), but sometimes played the b7 too. Brecker used to play the whole II-V as a V7 for more tension. In the next measures he plays a "triton sub" (if you can call it that) on the Dm7 (G#m7). usually a Dm7 Triton sub is a Ab7 (G#7) but Brecker liked to play the minor II (in the triton sub - G#m7 C#7 to Cmaj7). I think its more likely as he used to do this kind of stuff a lot.

Nick, very well organized as usual 👍🏻. Just wondering how you’re defining “exercise .” Would a ii-V pattern, or melodic cell, etc. moved around in various intervals through all 12 keys be considered an exercise? Or is it more of a foundational technical thing? Thanks!

Great one Nick!

Thank you

Good

Soothing tone

Smooth 👌

The work never stops, Nick! #ForwardMotion

Great sound 👌

Thank you for the emphasis on (at least initial) simplicity, and reminding us there was jazz improvisation before bebop. Another wonderful source for licks and lines is Sidney Bechet, but let's not forget that those older cats had tone! And overtones in their tones for days; something either dismissed or not taught now compared to scale modes and ninja techniques. It's more than just the notes and rhythms... Not to generalize too much, but newer tastes and younger audiences have revealed that the long labored academic fever of math jazz and neglect of earlier styles and players in music schools is finally starting to relent.

Great

Excellent lesson 👍

Do you have a book with these excercises?

Next video on the drumset let’s hear that cymbal beat 💪

Thank you for The nice sound 😊

Nice double time! Or is that triple time?! 😄

Great Nik

..hey man I got into Jamie Anderson's Get your Sax Together... and have changed to a "lips-out" embouchure... Tip opening down from 9# to 7# and reed down from a three and a half to a two and a half... No more cannibalism... Bigger brighter sound and more control than ever... and I've switched from an Otto Link STM NY to a Theo Wanne slant sig 2... Thank you covid... Playing better than ever... B-)
