Not my primary style, nor I’m educated in jazz, but over the last year I produced an album with two great jazz musicians that will start to get published soon. I recorded guitar and organs to it which opened me up to this amazing genre and now I’m trying to get some basics to know better what I’m doing.
Been playing guitar for decades, but jazz for only a year or so. Split my time now between developing jazz chops and chord voicings and rehearsing and performing with a country/blues/rock cover band. Not a bad combination, actually.
I come from electronic music, like jazz a lot, not really hardcore jazz, more latin and afro influenced stuff. I like jazz based music theory, for me it seems much more consequent and logical than the classical approach (which for me seems often ad hoc).
And to be honest: Although I always liked jazz, I really got into it through my tonegym trainings. Since I understand its harmonic content more and more and I am able to interpret it more and more, it really touches me and I use it in my own music. Before that I always refused to use much (classical) harmonies in my own music, it always sounded too flat for me (especially my own stuff). At the moment I have a lot of fun reading books on jazz music theory and trying to incorporate it in my own music.
My main instrument is Bass guitar. I’ve been studying with Philip Mann for a little over a year, and most of our lessons are JAZZ based. Currently working on Solar by Miles Davis.
