Online Latin Jazz Lesson
When learning
the fundamentals of Latin music, especially Afro-Cuban traditions
and its applications to "Jazz", the most important
musical concept for students to learn is the Afro-Cuban Clave.
The goal is
to internalize the clave until it becomes second-nature.
Internalizing
the Clave is critical in the creative development of Jazz improvisation
within the musical context of Afro-Cuban rhythm. It is an integral
part of the musical matrix that bonds the language of Jazz and
Latin rhythm.
Once the Clave
has been internalized, it will free your mind and take your musical
creativity to the next level where you're able to bend/shape
the music at will; using the language of Jazz harmony to create
a colorful musical tapestry that defines the hybrid style known
as "Latin Jazz."
Journey to the Center
of The Clave!
Within the infinite
continuum of musical space and time, the Clave empowers a musician
with unlimited musical structure, form, depth, emotion, vitality,
strength, intensity, and vertical/horizontal context movement--thus,
offering an endless supply of creative possibilities.
The Clave is
a universal force of nature that provides constant musical equilibrium;
a harmonic equation of absolute mathematical precision that serves
as the main point of origin.
It is important
to note that the Clave's foundation is not directly linked to
its audible core. As a result, the Clave's main source of power
is felt in and around its peripheral structure. br
