A practical breakdown of a signature Hank Jones jazz line, showing reharmonization, voicings, and scale choices with practice variations.
Study a classic Hank Jones line and learn how to adapt it across a I–VI–II–V progression in F major. The lesson demonstrates tritone substitution, altered/lydian b7 scale applications on the V chord, and simple left‑hand comping voicings (shells, guide‑tones, root/5th shapes). Play through chromatic approach variations, rhythmic placement tips, and suggested practice with call‑and‑response backing tracks at multiple tempos. Includes a PDF worksheet for writing your own solos and practicing the line in real time.
