This week's Modern Jazz Line is an exercise in stretching your ears. This bi-tonal melody takes some chances with harmony that you may not be expecting. I always try to write lines that are just out of my comfort zone technique wise. I think this one is certainly going to be a challenge for most of you. Singing this challenging line through all 12 keys is guaranteed to improve your ability to hear odd intervals.
