Episode 16.1 - How to improve your improvisation skills with transcriptions

Hello everyone,
This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic LIVE. In this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Live, I explain how to get the most out of a transcription.

To do so, I am using Chris Potter's solo on All the things you are in a duo with Shai Maestro on piano. 

First, I analyse the ideas and how the player generates each melodic idea.
Secondly, I give several advice on incorporating those ideas you find in the transcription into your improvisation.
You can play and practise with me.
