Thanks Vardan for the info on enclosures. I am already practicing these patterns on guitar, so your lesson really helps me to construct my own exercises. Maybe even write some lines over changes!
Me two (on guitar) - i've done a fair amount of enclosure work coming out of old school bop lines but Vardan's lesson was really illuminating as to the scope of what's possible. Btw - recently listened to his album, "Tomorrow Is Yesterday." The track "Tic Two Toc Three," is really worth checking out.
