In this exclusive online masterclass, Rick Margitza will reveal how to transform a simple bebop phrase into a sophisticated, personal musical statement. Starting from a very basic piece of jazz language, he will demonstrate — step by step — how complexity can emerge naturally through the intelligent use of common tones, voice leading, and gradual development. This session is not about learning more licks, but about learning how to evolve them. If you’ve ever wondered how great improvisers turn universal vocabulary into a unique voice, this masterclass will give you a clear and practical roadmap you can immediately apply to your own playing.

Rick Margitza is one of the most distinctive voices of his generation on the saxophone, known for his lyrical sound, deep sense of swing, and long-standing presence on the international jazz scene.
