Now, on to today's episode.

From time to time on this podcast, I like to come out

with a super high value episode, like one that just really, really packs a punch. And in my

opinion, when it comes to becoming a better jazz improviser, it's all about frameworks. It's all

about step-by-step processes for actually getting better, not fancy tricks, not new

little licks or solos to learn. These are the things that really matter to me in our practicing.

So when a lot of us look at jazz standards and we're confused, we don't know where to start,

we're not sure how to take our jazz improv on a jazz standard from one place to the next level.

We need frameworks.

And so in today's episode, I'm going to be talking about improv hacking jazz standards.

My three-step proven, and I mean that when I say that, proven process for really starting to crush it on jazz standards and start getting better at jazz improv.

Are you ready for this?
