You DON’T Need Scales to Solo! Autumn Leaves Chord Tone Solo Chet Baker Style

Описание: Transform Your Jazz Solos with Chord Tones & Rhythm (Chet Baker Style)
If your jazz improvisation still sounds like you’re running scales, this lesson is for you. In this video I show you exactly how I practice chord tones and rhythm so you can create clear, melodic solos that sound like real jazz – using SIMPLE material.
You’ll learn my step‑by‑step chord tone method that I use with students inside Jazz Language Lab: how to turn basic arpeggios into musical phrases, and how to use rhythm to make even the simplest notes swing in a Chet Baker style.
What you’ll learn in this lesson:
✅ How to stop “noodling scales” and start outlining the harmony clearly
✅ Rhythmic motifs that instantly make your lines more musical
✅ How to connect chord tones smoothly through a ii–V–I
✅ How to build longer phrases using only chord tones
✅ Full demonstration over Autumn Leaves so you can hear it in context

Who this is for:
• Intermediate and advancing players who want to sound more professional
• Trumpet players (and other instruments) who love Chet Baker–style melody
• Jazz students who feel “stuck on scales” and need a clear practice plan
