You can play this chord progression on each beat as written above, or you can do a root-to-chord approach, which we call a stride-ballad left hand. And the Gm6 chord is simply a C7, but the D is substituted for the C (we call this a 9th chord. The second chord, F6, is simply an inverted Dm7. So how is this progression that I just taught you the Turnaround Progression? Because of inversions. Now, if you have studied our courses here at PianoWithJonny, you will know that the Turnaround Progression is normally played FMaj7, Dm7, Gm7, and C7.

FMaj7, F6, Gm7, and Gm6. One of the best ways to do this is with what chord inversions and a 4-on-the-floor feel. But… if you are new to jazz improv, then I would pick a simple left hand accompaniment. Now, there are many ways to lay down a Turnaround Progression accompaniment ( Turnaround Accompaniment Grooves, Turnaround Songs, & Soloing Over a Turnaround). It is the basis of hundreds of songs (I Got Rhythm, Cheek to Cheek, the Way You Look Tonight, Heart & Soul, & Blue Moon to name a few), and it work’s wonderfully as a chord progression to improvise over!

So, now that you understand the importance of being able to improvise, let’s talk about the first and most important progression that you should know if you want to get a jazz piano gig anywhere. Therefore, if you want to play jazz piano professionally and get jazz gigs, I strongly believe that the most important skill is not knowing many tunes, but knowing how to improvise over chord progressions. And for over 17 years as a professional jazz pianist playing hundreds of jazz gigs, the vast majority of my playing was not playing tunes, but actually improvising over those tune’s chord progressions. So how was I able to start gigging as a professional pianist when I knew only 5 jazz standards?!? I knew a handful of jazz chord progressions and how to improvise over them. If each song you play takes 3 minutes, that is 60 songs… yikes! For example, if you did a 4-hour gig, with four 45-minute sets, that is 180 minutes of music. While you certainly could play jazz standards to fill in the background, it takes a lot of work to learn so many songs. That’s because most venues like restaurants, weddings, and private parties want you to provide ambient background music. Tunes Versus Progressionsīefore I teach you the progression and how to improvise over it, it’s important to understand that when playing jazz gigs, you don’t need to learn lots of tunes. You’ll learn 2 left hand approaches, a scale for improvisation, 3 improvisation tools, and 3 exercises to play beautiful jazz improvisations.
