Lullaby Of Birdland - Jazz Scales for Improvisation Over a Minor Tune Simplified

In this lesson and video, jazz pianist Haim Cotton will teach you how to take a minor jazz standard with many chord changes, and simplify it so you can use only two scales: The melodic minor scale and the major scale. The standard chosen for this purpose is Lullaby Of Birdland. It was composed by pianist George Shearing and made famous by Sarah Vaughan.
