Jazz Improvisation: A Personal Approach with Joe Lovano (DVD)

Develop your own voice with the practice techniques that have helped make Joe Lovano one of the most respected improvisers of our time. In this Master Class from Berklee College of Music, Lovano shows you how to play any instrument with greater spontaneity and feeling. He'll teach you how to interpret the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic essence of a tune. You can then create your own improvisational ideas from within these musical elements, and make sure your journeys arrive somewhere. Lovano brings these ideas to life in solo, duo, trio and quartet performances filled with his expressive sax lines. His lessons will help you make the most of your solo practice time, and interact more creatively with other musicians. Perhaps most important, Lovano will inspire you to relax, hear the music, feel the mood and let your ideas flow. 59 minutes.
