Jazz standards are full of II-V-I sequences, so it is essential to understand this important chord sequence and to get to grips with it both chordally and improvisationally. In this very detailed course you will get an overview of the possibilities for playing the chords and improvising over them. In addition to scales, arpeggios and chromatic passing tones (which are very important for the flow) are explained in detail.
