All right, we're continuing jazz blues month here on

the Learn Jazz Standards podcast where we are diving in deep to the jazz blues, the importance of it,

and of course how to improvise over it and master the jazz blues. In week one, last week of the podcast,

I gave you three reasons why you need to master the jazz

blues, how important this is and how powerful this is, and how can give you an unfair advantage

in your jazz playing if you are highly proficient at it. And in this week, we're starting

our first of three strategies we're going over here. We're talking about how to map out a jazz blues for improv success and how important

I believe this is in several different phases of the mapping process that will start to

unlock this important chord form in jazz.

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.

What's up, everybody?
