Mastery of the blues and rhythm changes are "critical elements for building a jazz repertoire". In jazz, rhythm changes, are a modified form of the chord progression in Gershwin's song "I Got Rhythm", which forms the basis of countless jazz compositions. These changes were later popularized by early bebop musicians. They became extremely common in the 40s and 50s, and are now ubiquitous. Many songs have been written over the "I Got Rhythm" or ”Rhythm Changes” (a type of composition known as a contrafact.)
Our study here will include comping arrangements, transcribed solos and jazz heads giving you the insights to master this bebop style.
