Our Jazz Series should be ready this Spring.  We're very excited about it and think it will have a great impact on musicians learning to improvise in all styles.  We're also thrilled to hear from so many of you that our anxiously awaiting it to be available.

I enjoy playing many styles of music and I wanted our Jazz Series to allow musicians to improvise over a wide variety of "grooves".  Of course, there will be plenty of Swing songs, but these examples give some ideas of what you'll have as play-alongs.

The DLP Jazz Series will be released in early 2012. Once in a while when we're describing the Kore Series or Jazz Series to a potential new user they'll ask, "Will I be learning REAL songs in here or just exercises?".  The answer is, we believe, that these are real songs BUT that they are also songs that function as exercises to review ONLY the concepts you have learned up to that point.  They are songs built specifically for where you are in your musical learning and for where you are in your technical development on your instrument at this time.

So, from a concert I did this past Monday (12/12/11) are 2 songs from the upcoming DLP Jazz Series.  These feature; myself on Keyboards, Jennifer Escue (from the DLP Staff ) on Vocals, Jeff Plant on Bass, Larry White on Steel Guitar and Lamont Taylor on Drums.

I hope you enjoy these songs
