One of the most important components that determine the level of professional competence of a modern musician specializing in jazz music performance is mastering the basic laws of the art of improvisation, based on knowledge and understanding of the laws of traditional harmonic structures and stylistic features of jazz music of the 20–60s of the XX century. A qualified performer and teacher must have knowledge of the skills and abilities of this type of musical practice, which are aimed not so much at improving various techniques of playing the instrument, as at the competent use of stylistic elements of the musical language, its means of expression and forms. The typology and systematization of the main types of harmonic schemes of jazz works of the middle of the twentieth century helps the optimal practical and theoretical assimilation of technological principles and various creative methods aimed at further developing the harmonious thinking of the performer. Within the framework of this research, an analysis of the basic structures of the middle parts in jazz music of the 20–60s of the XX century is undertaken. Methods for studying this issue based on the works of David Baker, Jerry Cooker, Mark Levine and Richard Scott are presented
