"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."

JazzMando fave, Aaron Weinstein breathes new life into this Irving Berlin classic, "Slumming on Park Avenue" with his signature effortless mandolin chord melody magic that will make your head spin. Notice, his fingers never leave his hands (although you'd swear they did). The New York multi-instrumenalist dances over the frets like Baryshnikov.
"Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are
Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on Park Avenue ."
