Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."



Bio of Site Author: Ted Eschliman

Ted Eschliman graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1980 with a Bachelor of Music in Education as a trombone major, where he also taught undergraduate music theory. A part time arranger, he discovered his love for the studio in the 90s, writing and producing three solo albums, as well as dabbling at copywriting and freelance studio singing for a local jingle company. Despite his full time commitments as part owner and marketing director of a local retail music store chain, Dietze Music, he continued to perform jingles and write instrumental beds for local radio stations, as well as co-write music for area Contemporary Christian artists in his spare time.

A self-professed "hack" multi-instrumentalist, Eschliman developed his jazz chops as keyboardist/manager of a jazz quartet.

In 1998, enchanted by the perfect symmetry and jazz potential of his first mandolin, it became a permanent passion to translate his knowledge of jazz and music theory to its fretboard. March of 2003 was premier of his popular website, jazzmando.com, a journal of these discoveries for other aspiring jazz mandolinists. Check out his site for further unraveling and demistyfing complex jazz theory and fingerboard fundamentals.
