In this video Jazzduets explores the similarity between a Dexter Gordon phrase and Soviet Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian´s Adagio from Spartacus.

My name is Nick Homes. I was, and still am a non genius musician who struggled for many years to find out the secrets of jazz improvisation. Throughout 40 years of playing, and obsessive investigation I have focussed on building systems of learning for my students so they can improve , and reach their learning goals with the highest probability.
