This week's Modern Jazz line marks the final lesson in my I-VI-ii-V series. You might recall that in Modern Jazz Line #20 I wrote out multiple lines to show the "evolution" of particular jazz line. I wanted to do something similar with this lesson so I decided to take a page from the Lee Konitz play book.
I loosely based the 10 step method shown below on Lee Konitz's 10 Steps to Improvisation, an article I discovered when studying the music of Lennie Tristano. The idea is to take something very simple and be able to mold it in a multitude of ways until you have something completely unique. The eventual goal is to be able to achieve this level of creativity on a completely spontaneous level while improvising. A goal worthy of an improvisor on any level!
