We're focusing on one of the most common chord progressions in jazz: the turnaround. This classic progression, I-VI-II-V, shows up in countless standards, and learning to navigate it fluently is key to sounding confident and connected in your solos.

We’re going to take a bebop-informed approach by using chromatic enclosures to target the 3rd of each chord in the turnaround. This is a super effective way to outline harmony while staying in the pocket of the bebop language.
It’s also pattern-based, which makes it a great way to train your ears and fingers to hear and play changes clearly. Today’s exercise walks you through this process step-by-step over a turnaround in C major.
Whether you're just getting comfortable with enclosures or looking to tighten your phrasing, this concept is an excellent tool to add to your toolkit.
