Help/Info
This is another unique study on learning jazz improvisation. There are 8 Classic Jazz Standards in the book. Each of them is presented in 4 ways. For example, the first tune "Billies Bounce" by Charlie Parker, you find the head written out. Second, you will see a chord chart to solo over with the playalong CD. Third, there is a sample solo chorus which you listen to and analyze. Fourth there is a solo to transcribe by ear from the CD. Then there are improvisation tips, licks and tricks for help in improvising.
