New Jazz Overview

This workshop explore the young style of New Jazz, which is not really Jazz (that would be Nu Jazz) but rather a bouncy underground trap style.

This new style (2020's) features a specific syncopated rhythm with gliding chords, stupidly fat 808s, endless melodic riffs, hat rolls and glitches.

Even if you're not super into Trap and hip hop music I highly recommend checking this "simple" and fun style to create.

Key Points Covered:

1. Achieving That Characteristic Groove: Learn how to nail the foundational groove that defines New Jazz music
2. How to Roll, Glide and Glitch Hats: Master the art of manipulating hi-hats to create intricate rolls, smooth glides, and glitchy effects that add movement and texture to your rhythms using Ableton Live 12's new editing tools.
3. Fat 808s Glides: Explore advanced techniques for designing 808 basslines that hit hard and glide seamlessly, adding depth and energy.
4. New Jazz Chords: Discover new ways to incorporate jazz-influenced chord progressions into your beats, adding complexity and sophistication to your sound.
5. Stacking Melodies: Learn the secrets to layering melodies and counter-melodies to create bouncy syncopated melodic rhythms.
6. Multi-Clip New Jazz Editing Techniques: Dive into advanced editing techniques using Ableton Live's multi-clip functionality, allowing you to seamlessly arrange and manipulate multiple elements of your track to easily create melodies and baselines with multiple sounds at once.

Whether you're a seasoned producer looking to refine your skills or a beginner eager to learn the ropes, this workshop offers invaluable insights and hands-on experience to take your music production to the next level.
