The Be Boppers Method Book II is designed to help jazz players build a bridge from be bop to post be bop. This publication deals with learning a jazz lanquage that was constructed in the 1960 and 70's, a language which expands elements of freedom with out losing the discipline of the 1940's & 50's. Artists who demonstrate these concepts and ideas include Wendell Harrison, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson and McCoy Tyner, just to name a few.

I can understand this well written book!,
By Charles Prophet (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Be Boppers Method Book II with CD (Paperback)
This book is a masterpiece for those wanting to break the mystique about jazz improvisation. Harrison demonstrates all of the excersises and leaves space for you to play along. The narrator is easy to understand and very encouraging as she guides you through the process. I also purchased Volume I. Great work from veteran Wendell Harrison
