Probably a very basic thing I shoudl know, but when you improvise this kind of jazz, which scales do you use? Is it ony normal minor and major scales or do you mix them with other scales?
This is a chord melody jazz improv, thus you have the 'in' scale notes + the 'out' non-scale notes in play. Thats what makes jazz sound so great and soo different, you are using all the tones available. Basically you anchor the melody in the scale and play around outside the melody with the rest :)
relaxing mode. happy holidays :)

Thanks mlavik1,
about the scales,I use to mix them almost always. However, depends on the harmony I am playing.
Rarely I use single scales , because (for me) sometimes it's sound too systematic

This has the warmth of the fireplace and the coolness of each snowflake's unique design.
And the last two chords brought the furtive tear to the eye that most good Christmas songs do. : ) Molte bene, Alfonso!
