4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Book, March 23, 2004

By	javaboost (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I like Jesse Gress's work. It's often simple and to the point. There are a lot of lick books out there to choose from and I think that this one is good because it provides not just licks but a variety of phasing options and rythmic patterns to try them on. This helps jump start you on adapting the lick to yourself. The only thing I don't like about this book is that it's not wire/coil bound. If you're gonna buy it, immediately take it out to and get it re-bound with wire or coil. It will make it much easier to work with.
