016: An Ear for Jazz, with Brent Vaartstra (Learn Jazz Standards)
Musicality Now - Podcast készítő Musical U
On the show today we're talking to Brent Vaartstra from LearnJazzStandards.com, one of the leading websites for people to learn to play jazz.
Now if you’re not into jazz you might already be thinking about skipping this episode - don’t!
This conversation tackles exactly that question of whether jazz has anything to offer musicians who aren’t necessarily dedicated to jazz. And also the core skills you can learn to help you find musical freedom in jazz - or any other genre.
Brent has been running Learn Jazz Standards since 2011, publishing new articles and podcast episodes every week. He also performs and teaches around New York and is the author of jazz books for Hal Leonard including “500 Jazz Licks” and “Visual Improvisation for Jazz Guitar”.
On today's podcast, we pick Brent's brains about what does (or doesn’t) make jazz unique as a genre, and ask him a few questions that frequently come up among Musical U followers and members on the topic of jazz.
