How to Compose a Jazz Song

The creative process surrounding composition depends on the individual. In this video I share my process on how to compose a jazz song. You'll witness a raw version of how I choose my "why" and how I pick tempo, the key and the feel of the piece. Watch the structure and bassline come together.

Watch & enjoy!
