Prepared to improve your Jazz Piano Improvisation Rhythms improvisation abilities for the piano? Extra simply, if you're playing a track that's in swing time, after that you're already playing to a triplet feeling (you're visualizing that each beat is separated into three 8th note triplets - and every off-beat you play is delayed and played on the 3rd triplet note (so you're not even playing two uniformly spaced eighth notes to start with).
So rather than playing two 8 notes straight, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can split that quarter note into 3 '8th note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same length. The first improvisation method is 'chord tone soloing', which means to compose melodies making use of the 4 chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
For this to work, it requires to be the next note up within the range that the music is in. This offers you 5 notes to play from over each chord (1 3 5 7 9) - which is plenty. This can be related to any note size (half note, quarter note, eighth note) - but when soloing, it's normally put on 8th notes.
It's great for these rooms to find out of range, as long as they wind up fixing to the 'target note' - which will normally be among the chord tones. The 'chord scale over' approach - precede any type of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In music, a 'triplet' is when you play 3 equally spaced notes in the area of two.
Currently you could play this 5 note range (the wrong notes) over the same C minor 7 chord in your left hand. With this technique you simply play the very same notes that you're already playing in the chord. Chord scale over - half-step below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).
A lot of jazz piano solos include an area where the tune quits, and the pianist plays a series of chord voicings, to an intriguing rhythm. These consist of chord tone soloing, approach patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal appearances', 'playing out' and extra.
