teach in jazz is comping. Now, if you're a guitar player, a piano player, or a vibes player,

you kind of understand that comping is kind of hard to put a method to, hard to put inside of a box.

There's so many different things that are involved in comping. And if you're a saxophone

player or trumpet player or any horn player, I don't want you to tune this episode out because

indeed, it is also important for you to understand the art of comping. However, I today on the

podcast will give you three important things that you need to keep in mind as a comper when

you're accompanying other musicians on the bandstand over jazz standards. I'm excited for this.

Hope you are too. Let's jump right to it. Welcome to the LJS podcast, where you get weekly jazz

tips, interviews, stories, and advice for becoming a better

jazz musician.

And now your host, he's a jazz musician, author, and entrepreneur, Brent Bartstra.
