This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about Modulation.

Modulation occurs when a song changes key for a long period of time (at least 1 phrase or more than 1 bar) and is often, though not always, confirmed with a V-I cadence. Changing key for less than a phrase or for a bar or less is instead called toncisation.

Modulations are very common in Jazz. Very few jazz songs stay in one key for the whole song, and some don’t stay in one key for more than 2 bars. In Jazz, the most common types of modulation are:
Unprepared/Direct modulation
Prepared Modulation
Pivot Chord modulation
Transitional/Chain modulation
