Excellent!
Lots of fun with rhythm. Tons of ideas can be used for soloing
Great course leading to familiar jazz sound
I have always struggled to associate what I practice as a beginner to what I hear in jazz tunes. This course gradually leads to the sounds of jazz I enjoy listening to and want to play - the very reason I started to learn to play piano.
