This week's modern jazz line is inspired by a very common bebop phrase I hear a lot of musician frequently playing. There's nothing too chromatic or "out" in this line but I think it still carries a modern feel.
I hope you enjoyed watching the first 10 lessons from my Modern Jazz Line series. In these jazz lessons I covered how to become a better improvisor using the ii-V-I progression as a guide. The next Modern Jazz Line videos will cover the tri-tone substitution used in the context of a basic ii-V-I progression (see example below). If you haven't read or watched my explanation of the tri-tone substitution you may want to check it out before continuing with the lesson below.
