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."

We're doing out best at JazzMand.com to make that happen, hoping to educate a new generation of jazz mandolinists.
