IMPROVISING ON ANOTHER YOU Jazz Tactics #30

There Will Never Be Another You is a tune you need to know. This video delves into the melodic and harmonic elements of this oft-played jazz anthem, with a particular focus on knowing the melody (!) and identifying the notes that precisely define the chord progression, which I call 'pivotal tones'. I demonstrate solos with and without these notes, and then with the addition of chromatic passing and approach tones.
These are the five elements I need in order to improvise effectively on any tune:
1) the key
2) the form
3) the melody
4) the pivotal tones
5) the use of chromatics to shape and develop melodic lines.
