Learn Jazz Standards Podcast

I've always loved jazz but my few forays into the genre really discouraged me. After using the LJS Inner Circle I am making real progress and And am lost down the rabbit hole in a good way. Brent and the community take you from square one to jam-ready by organizing your learning of actual music. Listen to the podcast and check out learningjazzstandards.com

As a public school band director of 33 years, I know the difficulty of teaching jazz. Brent has practical solutions or pathways to and through the roadblocks of real jazz playing that many people experience. He has a low-key approach that is ironically very motivating! Check it out!

All of Brent’s podcasts are super and he’s such a generous soul for providing these to the community (even those who have a little trouble coughing up the cash for full LJS inner circle membership, though I’m sure that’s worth it’s weight in gold !). But even given all that, I couldn’t help commenting on what an absolute classic episode 332 is; for most of us geezers having access to something as useful as that would have been game changing but only accessible to those who had the rare opportunity of working with a master teacher.

Great advice for aspiring jazz musicians.
