Recap

Learn how to swing jazz rhythms in this jazz piano tutorial on how to play jazz standard Taking A Chance On Love, with Bijan's blues piano licks and performance in this Taking A Chance On Love Piano Lesson.

This is a fun tune to play, one of the first tunes I heard at a concert of jazz pianist Dan Delaney, great to swing hard and throw in all your blues piano licks. In this tutorial, the focus is more on jazz rhythm, and how to swing. Hence, when I say "staying on the backside of the beat." Take elements of my performance that you dig, and internalize them.
