Latin Jazz Gospel Montunos! šŸ”„ Martha Munizzi 'Glorious' Piano Breakdown

In this video, I break down Martha Munizzi’s "Glorious" with a Latin jazz gospel twist, focusing on montuno rhythms, chord progressions (1-4-2-5), arpeggiations, and harmonic minor applications in the key of G minor. I demonstrate rootless voicings, chromatic walk-ups, gospel passing chords, and rhythmic syncopation to help you master this energetic groove.
