Marcus Printup is a wonderful guy! He plays with the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra and has many CDs as leader too. He is a caring and thoughtful player and teacher. Join Marcus and Jake as they discuss the importance of mentors, listening, jazz history, practice and how to tackle "So What". Marcus has several great resources to guide you.
Marcus says the best thing to do is to STAY PATIENT. Follow the CDC guidelines. Play your long tones as if it's a meditation. Marcus guides us through a listening session of Clifford Brown and Sarah Vaughan on September Song.
As we have discussed in many previous posts, minor scales and songs are an important aspect of your development. The song So What is a great tune for musicians to learn as it is very "scalular" and also has a chromatic modulation and is in only 2 keys.
Enjoy this discussion and consider learning So What. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yva8-PQ8pNw
He says "the key to learning jazz is using your ears". This lesson can be informative to listen to only but Marcus also shared some great files to go along with it. Check these out too? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13URVPgJ1Im7mMnyr-TPohuR5o2zduGPT?usp=sharing
