How to work with a motive (either the motive of the melody itself, or any other that comes to mind during the solo).
We'll break down a simpler standard together and demonstrate the use of a motif when composing a melody, as well as try our own motivic improvisation.

HOW TO IMPROVISE A SOLO?
with Vít Beneš
Chords played melodically aka arpeggios are the very foundation of the jazz language. We'll look at how to practice them and show some ways to enrich our improvisation with them.
The chords will help you find those "right notes" and create melodies that progress with the harmony in harmony.
As well as knowing the main melody (theme), knowing the chords is very useful for other creative methods of jazz improvisation.
The description's pretty boring, I admit.
