🎹 Famous Jazz Licks You Need to Check Out!

Want to build your jazz vocabulary without guessing what to practice? In this lesson, we dive into three classic licks from three masters—Charlie Parker over an F blues, Clifford Brown on the bridge of I’ll Remember April, and Wynton Kelly’s iconic “Freddie Freeloader” opening line. I break each one down by chord tones, passing tones, and enclosures so you can truly understand how the lines work.

Then I show you how to take these licks through the keys and turn them into vocabulary you can actually use in your solos.
