When improvising over a medium 2-5-1 (4 bars total), you can approach it as a:
1) Regular 2-5-1 (Cmi7 / F7 / Bbma7 //)
2) Sidestep 2-5-1 (C#mi7 F#7 / Cmi7 F7 / Bbma7 //)

Check out how we improvise over a regular 2-5-1 vs a sidestep 2-5-1 over "I'll Remember April". This was from a special Bijan Taghavi Trio performance at the Ravenscroft in Scottsdale, AZ. To watch the full cut, CLICK HERE.
