Hi Dave,

Thank you for the amazing master class.

I'm studying "The Joy of Improv". It's very practical.

What is the name of the song you are playing on the video?

The best!

Dave,

You're cranking these things out faster than I can absorb them, but I finally got all the way through this baby!

I can't wait to get into the Dick Hyman thing. Dick Wellstood (the late Stride player) introduced me to him at a gig in Switzerland in the mid-1980s.

RE: Bass lines, I find that I tend to favor solid roots on both the beginning of a phrase and also its landing point (in favor of non-root chord tones).

To turn this into a "The Joy of Improv" book would be a great idea.

Jeff

Dave is the coolest jazz teacher.

Hence goes like this: bass line legato , melody - non legato.
