Learning how to Improvise,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jerry Coker's Complete Method for Improvisation: For All Instruments (CD included) (Paperback)
Solo efforts on your instruments come out of chord progressions and inventive use of the various scales. This books shows you various chord structures like the blues 1 IV V or jazz II V I progression and how to work on it. A good overview of the process similar to the Gary Campbell Expansions books, but as in depth as The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine, which is a book all jazz people must have in their library. Jerry's book comes with a CD to help out as well. Good price good book good luck on playing and practicing.

I am an intermediate jazz saxophonist actively trying to acquire improvisation skills. This book is well written, replete with appropriate examples, and has been very helpful to someone at my level. I recommend it highly for the advanced beginner/intermediate
