Speaking of Harmony - Episode 27 - Accents and Phrasing in Brazilian Music

Published: April 12, 2020, 7 p.m.

In this episode I tackle a recurring question: How do you deal with phrasing and accents in Brazilian music? I talk about the different approaches one must have when phrasing over Brazilian rhythms as opposed to jazz and bebop common language. I explain in detail what kind of framework you should be on, in order to become fluent in the language and to use proper accents and phrasing within that music. Enjoy!
