This was a rather short session, but during the Jazz Masterclass a lot of this subject was covered.

It is beneficial for a classical player to now jazz and the other way around.

What can you learn from jazz?

• Improvisation.
• Phrasing - to listen to it is the only way to learn it, not possible to write in notes.
• Theory - (example): What's the lydian mode, what note changes the mode? Major scale with raised 4th  = F# in C major - but that is G major. Stay away from the one and five note in the scale (the triad notes)

Special exercise for jazz
Different modes
Play Clarke in different modes. C7 - (flat seven), -5 (flat five). Bb and F# in C major.
Allen have done this so much that he has trouble playing Clarke in Major keys.

Phrasing
When tempo goes up, straighten it out. Like in "jazz-writing": Swing is written in straigh eight notes.
Doodle tonguing.
