A deep look at Miles Davis's tune Nardis using the Bill Evans 1961 recording as a reference.

An epic composition that will broaden your understanding of harmony. Includes a great backing track featuring Ulysses Owens Jr.

In Your Own Sweet Way - Tune Based
This is one of my favorite tunes to play! I love the wide open modal section and the contrast it creates with the chord changes throughout the tune. There is so much to learn from here, secondary dominants, modal playing, voicings in 4ths and lot's more:)
