Bring the sound and feel of the blues into one of the most important progressions in jazz with Frank Vignola.
In this masterclass, Frank shows you how to take familiar blues vocabulary and make it work naturally over the 2–5–1. Rather than treating blues language and jazz harmony as two separate worlds, you'll learn how to connect them through chord tones, chromaticism, rhythmic phrasing, articulation, and targeted melodic ideas.
You'll start with the essential elements of the blues sound, apply those ideas directly to changing 2–5–1 harmony, and then develop the concepts through practical exercises in all 12 keys. The result is a more expressive approach to improvisation that keeps the character of the blues while clearly outlining the jazz progression.
