Music / Jazz
English term or phrase: get hip
Introdução sobre o Jazz.

"We put on our shades and help you get hip to jazz chords, jazz progressions, chord melody style, chord substitutions, and single-note lead playing".

Não entendi se tem o sentido de "quadril" ou de "entender o assunto, estar atualizado, moderno".

Alguma sugestão??
Qualquer ajuda será bem-vinda!!

aprender/se familiarizar com

Explanation:
Parece simples demais, mas e' minha compreensao do original. Ao passo que as vezes "get hip" quer dizer atualizar o conhecimento que a pessoa tem, aqui quer dizer saber por primeira vez, conhecer, aprender, familiarizar-se com.
