Octave Displacement
Oz demonstrates Pat Martino’s octave-displacement concept, applies it to chromatic and diatonic scales, and uses it while improvising over “Autumn Leaves.”
How Oz visualizes scales across the entire neck, connects changing harmonies to available shapes, and continues looking for gaps in his melodic vocabulary.
