Blue Bossa in 4 Levels - Jazz Lesson
Рет қаралды 8,664
4 жыл бұрынAh yes, Blue Bossa by Kenny Dorham is one of the best songs for aspiring jazz musicians to start with. It has a short 16 bar form but also contains some moving functional harmony, which provides a great vehicle for practicing important basic concepts of jazz improvisation.
Of course, it's also a tune that is fun to play!
In this video I've broken it down into four levels for beginning improvisors to work with. As always I start with the least amount of thinking first - I believe that great improvisors always start out with very little material. The less note choices you have, the less you have to worry about whether they will sound good. They will! Just play.
As always, I try to present these steps in the most logical and digestible way possible - I hope that you enjoy the video.
I have several other older videos on this song here:

Hi Tim, thanks for the great video. Those of us with weaker ears would benefit from having the notes of your licks shown as you play them!

Hi Tim, how about crafting a tutorial on My little Suede shoes?

That tune is a really great lesson on 2-5-1 and 3-6-2-5-1 chord progressions - it can pretty much be played with one major scale.

This is so great!!! I play tenor sax but I just transpose and it works amazing! I’ve done your other two like this also. Will you be doing any more videos like this?
