Swing jazz rhythm in improvisation

   Swing is very important in improvisation. This word means stressing the
   upbeat.
   If you also give a "sliding" or "retardation" between notes, you can
   create the real swing jazz rhythm, which was born at the beginning of
   the XX century about. When you stress an upbeat you make perhaps a
   "swinging" rhythmics, (also being without a dragging or a sliding
   between notes), for modern rhythm too, (such as pop and rhythm and
   blues).
     * When you play swing music, that is Dixieland, blues, ragtime,
       swing, bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, you have to follow this scheme:

   In order to learn how to swing, you simply have to learn how to reason
   in up beat and stressing with it constantly. In other words, swing
   means "stressing the upbeat" with an implied octaves triplets clef.

Learning jazz swing

   Learning swing very well and have the ability to improvise, stressing
   and giving the right accent of phrases needs much time to practice it.
   Above all, you must pay attention at the beginning to stress upbeat
   octave notes constantly and to stop when you realize you are making the
   contrary. While stressing notes on your instrument, I suggest to upbeat
   by your foot, so that you can emphasize this rhythmic accent better.
   You have to get used to reason in upbeat, beginning all over again, as
   since we were children we have been starting clapping hands in
   downbeat. Swing-jazz rhythm can be so learned naturally after studying
   constantly in this direction.
     * You need some months to learn swing rhythm on your instrument. I
       remember you to stress always the upbeats.
