I have not been able to pick up my guitar in a little while, been traveling, been doing a lot

of work for a new membership that we have coming up here later on in the year for Learned Jazz

Standards. And so today, I'm going to be practicing

with you today. We're going to learn some 1625 material with the help of our good friend

Dexter Gordon to show us the light, to show us the way on some killer jazz language to

play over 1625 core progressions. This is going to be fun. I'm excited

to learn, and I hope that you're excited to learn along with me. Let's crush this thing.

Welcome to the LJS podcast, where you get weekly jazz tips, interviews, stories, and advice
