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

This is behond me. Later I would like to do a video of it. I read the book and fouund it very educational.
