Thanks for visiting my new site! Proud to also announce the official release of my Doctoral paper Woody Shaw's Exercises: The Foundation of an Original Voice in Jazz. The link is at the bottom of this post! From my research, it appears to be the most comprehensive work on Shaw's approach to date. If you want to learn more about Woody Shaw's approach to improvisation, learn to play "outside", or be inspired to create you own approach, check it out! In the coming weeks, I'll be posting videos where I discuss and demonstrate some of Woody Shaw's exercises that he developed for improvisation, and their application. Keep an eye on my Instagram and YouTube channel for those!
