Thank you. the show notes. Now, on to today's episode. All right. Hey, what's up, everybody? My name is Brent, your host of the LJS podcast, and you're

listening to Episode 27, where today we're going to be going over our jazz challenge number two.

Last week we did our jazz challenge number one, which was write your own contrafax.

So if you haven't checked out jazz challenge number one, go back to episode 26 and take that challenge.

I highly encourage you to do that.

We're in the middle of a series, a four-part series of jazz challenges.

And these jazz challenges, we're doing these to prepare for our very first e-course

that we're launching in October 2016, for those of you who are listening in from the future.

And this course is called 30 Days to Better Jazz Playing.

And 30 Days to Better Jazz Playing is a course that walks you through some focused,

goal-oriented practice routines over the course of 30 days.

It includes lectures that help you get through those.

It's an audio course, so you're going to be guided through the entire course by yours truly.

There's going to be handouts, play alongs, different resources to help you practice.

This is a really great course.
