About Jazz Fiddle: Rhythm Changes:

Gershwin’s 1931 classic “I Got Rhythm”, has become one of the most important chord progressions in the history of jazz, with dozens of contrafact’s (new tunes written over that song’s chord changes), so much so that we call the entire family of tunes – rhythm changes. In this lesson we unpack the original chord progression and break it down section by section, exploring common harmonic variations and some tips and tricks for navigating this harmonic treasure trove!

This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
