Jazz Standard Analysis 1
In this workshop, we’ll analyze the chord progression for Autumn Leaves.
Starting with the lead sheet, we’ll memorize the melody/chords. Next we’ll learn how to figure out the parent key of any song using the diatonic chords. Then we’ll spend time analyzing the chord functions and chord qualities. Finally, we’ll discover how to add color to any chord progression with the 2-5-1 trick.
By the end of this workshop, you will have a deeper understanding in general of why we use certain chords in jazz tunes.
