Interested in jazz and swing? Want to learn the licks, the rhythms, the stylings, the building blocks of great jazz solos? Look no further, my friends. In this class, we’ll get started with some relatively simple licks that can be applied to all sorts of jazz and swing tunes (think “Sunny Side of the Street” or “All of Me”). Jazz is a language, a vocabulary, just like any other; we’ll get you started learning it, and show you how to continue the journey! Dialect is also an important aspect of any language, of course, and in jazz, that can be found in accents, inflections, vibrato (or lack thereof), and bowing patterns that have worked well for jazz string players ranging from Stephane Grappelli, to Stuff Smith, to Paul Chambers.
