How to harmonize Jazz Melodies using Modal Interchange and Chord Substitution 🎹

Ready to take your Jazz arrangements to the next level? 🎹
In this third instalment of my Modal Interchange series, I’ll guide you step-by-step through transforming a simple Jazz tune into a rich, harmonically vibrant masterpiece.
Building on the Ten-Step Workflow from my previous video “How to Compose Using Modal Interchange”, you’ll learn how to combine sophisticated chord substitutions with colourful modal borrowing to create fresh emotional shades, unexpected progressions, and unique harmonic twists. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to confidently reharmonise any Jazz standard, unlock professional-level voice-leading strategies, and craft your own distinctive harmonic signature—skills that will instantly make your arrangements stand out on stage or in the studio.
