In this lesson I look at one of Sonny Rollins's most popular tunes. Airegin is part minor blues and part major II-V madness! I show you how to use the dominant approach to keep the static minor harmony moving and how to overcome the temptation of just using sequenced ideas on the chromatic II-V's. Another great lesson, enjoy!
