5.0 out of 5 stars Required for Jazz Composers, June 4, 2004
By A Customer
This small text by one of the founders of Hard Bop, should be required reading for jazz composition students! In it Horace demonstrates how to master the techniques he's used effectively for the small combo, most notably the quintet (tenor sax, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums).

A musician will understand jazz as mental, spiritual and physical after reading this book. With a little practice and patience a jazz composer is bound to improve.
