    Welcome to episode 168 of the LJS Podcast where we continue "Jazz Standards Month."
    Oftentimes in jazz education, we place an emphasis on harmonic and melodic elements. We typically don't place enough emphasis on rhythm. However, rhythm is important for understanding jazz music and becoming a better jazz improviser.
    In this episode, we learn how to apply rhythmic motivic development to the jazz standard Someday My Prince Will Come.

    Welcome to episode 167 of the LJS Podcast where we continue "Jazz Standards Month."
    My subscribers often wonder what scales to play over jazz standards to help them improvise. However, scales are rarely the answer to creating great melodic solos. With that being said, they should not be discarded and in the right hands can be used to create great music.
    In this episode, we take the pentatonic scale and apply it to the jazz standard Just Friends.
