Have you ever heard a jazz solo and after you heard it,

you just knew you had to learn it or at least learn a part of it because if only you could

learn that musical information, then somehow it would unlock something that you were missing

in your jazz playing. You just want to know like, how did they do that? Well, I've been feeling

like that a lot lately,

and there is a particular solo that I've heard recently and have been become accustomed to

that I just really want to learn a part of it. Now, I often just feel like I don't have enough

time to properly practice these days. I'm just so busy with all these different things.

So I'm going to be stealing a little bit of time here on the podcast to learn this solo. But at the same time, I know that you're going to

get this in your ears and learn some things along the way as well and get inside of my process

for how I go about learning a jazz solo by ear. All right, let's do this thing. 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. Hey, what's up everybody? Brent
