Learn unconventional jazz piano voicings that break traditional rules to create fresh harmonic colors and textures.
This lesson demonstrates how to build and apply intriguing, rule-defying voicings—stacked altered chords, rootless structures, and tritone-related shifts—over common progressions like ii–V–I and backdoor cadences. Ariel and Adam show practical right- and left-hand structures, how the bass determines chord function, and ways to shift those stacked structures to produce new colors. The session includes a short arranged example and pointers to downloadable PDFs and further workbook material for practicing each voicing in all keys.
