  1. Forget Chords - Jazz Harmony Is Voice Leading | with Zsigmond Gerlóczy

    Forget Chords - Jazz Harmony Is Voice Leading | with Zsigmond Gerlóczy

    Great composers like Bach were often incredible improvisers as well. If Bach were alive today, he might sound closer to modern jazz than you think. On this episode of the Jazz Lab podcast, we feature Zsigmond Gerlóczy, a young pianist becoming renowned for his two-hand counterpoint improvisations and genius Bagatelles. We dive into his creative jazz approach to voice leading, and how he achieves such a unique sound in his live performances and improvisations. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in improvised piano music and jazz improvisation, offering insights into his classical influences and playing style. This is not about stylistic imitation, it’s about structure, counterpoint, voice leading, and musical architecture at the highest level.
