Q. What are triad Pairs?
"In improvisation, triad pairs are a technique where two different triads are combined and alternated to create melodic lines with unique harmonic colors. Instead of using a full scale, improvisers select two triads that do not share any common notes, allowing for a more open and structured approach to soloing"
What is remarkable about this system is that there is no need for the player to consider or worry about voice leading the lines as this way of improvising is more open, angular and unexpected than for instance Bebop.
Q. Is there an introduction video where I can see more?
