Woahwoahwoah I'm not going to these muzzl3 jams where dudes walk in and freely improvise on the electric megaphone. I go to 1 session run by a temple professor, one by an Eastman professor, went to a mow defunct mam run by Mike Boone and all of them have a caliber of musician I have never seen in school groups. My school's jazz scene feels like the study of what certain people did from 1920-59.
Plus I had 2 years of what felt like jazz scales lessons and I felted more restricted. It's just chord to chord thinking instead of relying on your ear, and at the same time your ear isn't used tohearing musical ideas so much as scales. I know my scales I just wish I knew less of them.
Trritone subs and freddie Hubbard taught me a lot in high school, but when I say subs I'm talking closer reharmonizing cause Tritone subs are just extensions of altered dominant function chords. I'll throw up some reharms I do and get the piano player at one of those jams (temple professor) to evaluate if you want. But if you actually are in to jazz get out and play please
