(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jazz Improvisation (Paperback)
For the classical musician just entering the world of jazz or the jazz musician looking for heightened means of expression, JAZZ IMPROVISATION offers a detailed guide to the art of self-expression through improvisation in music.

Suitable for anyone who reads music, this book introduces every facet of jazz improvisation from common jazz-chord progressions to solo transcription. It supplies specific exercises for using chromatic sequences, the circle of fifths, whole-tone and minor-third sequences and presents thoroughly all scale and chord relationships.

Kynaston and Ricci focus special attention on constructing an improvised solo and discuss ways to improve listening skills, transcribe recorded music, and develop an individual style. Performers will learn how to discover their own musical identities and develop the confidence imperative for the jazz performer.

No matter what instrument you play, this guide can help you master the demanding art of jazz improvisation and develop your own uniquely personal mode of self-expression.
