The Polyrhythm Series
With Sami Amiris
Originally recorded using the first version of Genius Jamtracks, this legendary series by pianist and theorist Sami Amiris is a masterclass in rhythmic illusion, phrasing, and harmonic intelligence. Sami breaks down concepts like 6 over 4, anticipation, metrical dissonance, dotted quarter phrasing, and half note triplets — not as dry math, but as vivid musical tools.
Combining deep jazz experience, classical training, and fearless rhythmic precision, Sami offers a rare window into the mechanics of time itself. These lessons aren’t flashy — they’re fundamental. Raw, real, and profoundly insightful, this is required viewing for any improviser ready to stretch their rhythmic imagination.
