Types of Jazz Saxophone Improvisation
Hi! For Expert Village this is Mitch Kaplan. In this clip we will be talking about how to improvise. Now, there are three main types of improvisation. The first type is by taking a melody and embellishing upon it. Second type is by using chords and figuring out how to improvise over the chords and later on in the 60s, it developed and it became modal or more scales where it influenced and influenced many of the musicians on how to improvise. Now, first they say that the first improvisation happened with Lewis Armstrong when he dropped his music during a recording session. The very interesting thing, he had to keep playing and so all of a sudden playing, he had to come up with something quick and cover over his mistake. Well, that is how they say improv came about.
