Jazz Lick 17 '2m backdoor, 3-6 and back to 2m' #Shorts

#Shorts
Another common progression in jazz. Pentatonic shoots up from the 2minor to a 4minor and on to 3-6 going back to the 2m. I love using the pentatonic in phrasing.

About me

Tak Iwasaki, residing in New York, is a singer, a profound improvisor, and a certified voice teacher from Somatic VoiceWork(TM)The LoVetri Method.
He was one of the 3 finalists of the MCG Jazz Vocal Competition-The Gentlemen Sing (2013) in Pittsburgh. Also being one of the winners of the JFA Jazz Vocal Competitions(2013) in New York.

Tak has always been close with music.
Born in New York, Tak's first instrument he was given, was the violin at the age of 4. In 1983 he played in the Rising-all-stars Orchestra of Nassau County.
Moving back to Japan in 94', he picked up many instruments, starting with the guitar, and onto drums, piano and saxophone. His musical desires to sing, starts at the age of 21. His first passion led him mainly towards Soul, R&B and Gospel, but then a year later, he met "JAZZ". Struck by the freedom and extreme energy in jazz, Tak was immediately charmed by it. He dug much of the bebop era musicians, which had tremendous impact on his current vocal style. His vocal style is most influenced by these instrumentalist, such as Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson, Clifford Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Red Garland, Stan Getz, Freddie Hubbard, and so much more on to modern day jazz players.
