The Jazz Academy RU-vid Channel is the media library of educational videos produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Jazz at Lincoln Center's (JALC) jazz education programs drive our organization's efforts to advance the appreciation, understanding, and performance of jazz. Students learn about jazz's distinctly American heritage and history as well as its greatest musicians and compositions; they explore its connection to other art forms, and also study how to play jazz.

Had to watch 3 times. The 3rd time I actually started listening whart she was talking about. The 1st 2, I was watching her ! LOL Great Video, thanks for sharing.
Just something off. Doesn't feel like jazz. Feels like a marching band trying to play a jazz stand cheer. Is dizzy the trumpet teacher? Way too much puffed cheeks. Gross
I beg to differ, embellishing the melody is a precise art. The real key to embellishment is maintaining the integrity of the melodic structure, as opposed to simply soloing over it which is what Todd Williams wrongly demonstrated. He often over did his musical phrases and therefore had to squeeze in a relevant note. Embellishments require thinking, not showboating! Where is the melody of Ain't Misbehaving? Where was it? Charlie Parker was a master of embellishments. This is wrong teaching!!!
Thank you for sharing, I started learning to play the Trumpet three years ago, I will be 71 in November 2024. I am self taught and learning from people like you. I know all my notes, reading fairly. I also only have my right arm. I played my low register notes using my lips. Since I am retired I am able to practice and rest for almost three hours per day. Thank again.
1:35: yep, exactly. There’s no point in getting a carved top if the electronics are mounted in that top. Save your money; get a laminated top instrument. Only get a carved top if you’re doing unamplified, or doing floating pickup (electronics mounted under the pickguard).
8:15 I can listen to this explanation for scales over and over, and gain more appreciation each time. I'm not a religious man by any means, but that doesn't change the depth and beauty of this analogy.
How would you prepare yourself on the topic of form, - introduction and etc of a song to understand that you all have one structure in mind? What could be the reference tune for all of you or where to look up for that root?
Jaco Pastorious was a serious double bass player in HS and jammed with his Math Teacher Bobby ____ after school in Ft Lauderdale. One day Jaco looked over to where he kept his bass in their unairconditioned home and it had completed fallen apart. Saving his paper route $$$ he purchased his Fender Jazz bass.....and the rest is history....
