Guided Practice Sessions: Jazz Standard Deep Dive — “On Green Dolphin Street” | Common Tones, Inner Voice Movement & Melodic Soloing

Take a deep dive into “On Green Dolphin Street” with Frank Vignola and explore how common tones, inner voice movement, and harmonic connections can lead to stronger, more melodic improvisation.

Frank begins with the tune’s form and harmony, breaking down the progression and showing you how to recognize common tones as the chords move. You’ll explore inner voice movement and substitutions, giving you a clearer understanding of how the harmony connects rather than seeing each chord as an isolated shape.

From there, you’ll bring those ideas directly into your improvisation. Frank demonstrates how harmonic awareness can guide melodic soloing, helping you connect ideas through the changes and create lines that follow the sound of the song.
