This course is focused on helping you get chromatics into your playing in a practical way, without getting bogged down in too much theory. It’s based on my own system for learning and practising chromatic ideas so they start to come out naturally in your improvising. You’ll work on enclosures and a number of key chromatic devices, using them in a way that makes sense on the instrument and in the context of actual jazz lines. The aim is to build your own "jazz language".
