POLY MODAL IMPROVISATION

We do NOT just play ONE MODE while improvising jazz. We play POLY MODAL. We constantly shape our sound into nice progressions and intertwined flavors by using the MELODIC MINOR MODES. The technique in use has a classical analogy and is inspired by pianist BÉLA BARTÓK and the term “POLYMODAL CHROMATICISM“. Thank you so much to NIKOLAI NOREVIK MYKLEBUST from Norway for his great help making a modal drum&bass backing track in F. We use the backing track throughout the entire video to play along. And by the end of the video the backing track is running solo so you can try out the techniques without me interfering ;) Nikolai has the talent to create an open organic jazz sound - perfectly suited for us to live out our poly modal playground.
