Hi Miles, great lesson. A very clear explanation of how you approach this tune and the techniques and licks you use. I hope you'll do more of these (softly as in a morning sunrise?)
Thank-you, you little whipper snapper.... i'm 70 years old... and am a Joe Pass (guitarist) freak... for years, i've played various standards...A-train, Misty, etc... and have worked out good chord melody versions... but ALWAYS play them exactly the same way.... constantly tweeking out each chord change with what i thought would be the coolest... drawing from piano, horn, guitarists... YOUR VIDEO...has put me on a better path, in thinking about being cognizant of scale degrees.... thanks man...
Congratulations, Miles. First time doing this kind of thing? Hard to believe. First time right. What's in a name? Miles and trumpet go well together. This is one of the best educational video's on how to improvise on a jazz standard. I liked the thorough explanation of the structure of the piece, how the chords fit together and what techniques to use. Really great that you went by it note for note, explaining what kind of scale to use. You are a great teacher. And a true professional.
Hello from France. Really dig your playing and content. That's exactly what I like about jazz lessons, concrete stuff to play a tune. Tune oriented workouts is gold to me. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Great Job. First time i've seen a video like this break down what you can play as your progress through the chords. I hope your do this on more jazz standards in future videos.
Welcome!! that is so amazing, let me know if there is a specific tune you would like me to do next :). REMINDER, if you ever have questions drop them in the comments

A bit newer to jazz, it would be helpful if you said the intervals of the scale instead of just playing it and assuming the viewer knows. Still a Helpful video though!
Just discovered your channel. Great job!! Hope you have more like this!!
DUDE. That was so helpful. This should majorly help my ATrain soloing. Thanks🙏

Hey Sergei! very good tune choice, i so sad it to my schedule. That’s a minor blues that can be difficult to learn. I would be happy to break it down.

7:26 the flat 9 on any dominant implies diminished 7. That’s why it sounds the way it does.
