Here we explore 2 ways to use Triplets in Your Improvisations: 
1) Using 4 note shapes
2) Ascending Scalar Line that weaves through the chord changes

Rhythmically: 
1) you can use 4 note shapes to create a hemiola (superimposing 2 over 3).
2) you can play LH dotted quarters (in ¾ time signature) against the ascending scalar line to create rhythmic displacement.
