In this lesson, Willie teaches you how to create a full-blown arrangement of the classic jazz standard, Summertime.
Using his easy, three step process, you'll learn how to go from a lead sheet, to a full, jazz piano arrangement. Willie will teach you re-harmonization of chords, fills, runs and how to improvise over the song.

3 Hours of instruction on 2-DVDs
This DVD will teach you not only how to play a really cool arrangement of George Gershwin's Summertime, you'll also learn important improvisation skills.
Together, we will create licks that fit over the song. More importantly, you'll learn how to create licks that you can then apply to ANY song.
I have made a first pass through all your lick development that you took apart in "Summertime".
In a word "Fantastic"!! Though it did get a little confusing, watching how you develop licks was very instructive as you did it in real time.
What I especially came away with was what you have always talked about in your other lessons - doing approaches from above and below and paying attention to what target tone you are working towards.
