165 pages packed full of lessons presented in all twelve keys designed to accelerate the development of your jazz improvisation skills. You will learn your instrument thoroughly and develop your ears with this “melodic approach to jazz improvisation.”
Your book comes with a page containing a link for you to easily download all the play-along files for the Melodic Building Blocks section of the Handbook, presented at two tempos: medium and medium bright. 39 tracks in all, 73:04 total time.
Originally written for trumpet, this has been adapted to be playable by all instruments, treble clef and bass clef. This handbook contains enough materials to practice and increase knowledge of your instrument for the rest of your life. This is a guidebook that teaches you how to teach yourself to improvise. Used by Rich Willey in his Jazz Improvisation Workshops all across the U.S.A.
Book now includes four different types of blues progressions in all twelve keys:
Rich plays the slower tempo of the Blues Incarnations in concert B-flat (as written)
Rich plays the not-quite-as-slow tempo of the Blues Incarnations in concert B-flat (as written)
These pages are packed with routines and lessons that force you to learn your axe. It’s all written out so that you’ll actually be playing melodies, licks and blues in all twelve keys. Routines are based on ideas given to Rich by such teachers as Rich Matteson, David Baker, and Garry Dial. Playing all this stuff will rub off on your technique and key fluency, and will fill your ears with jazz lines inspired by or “borrowed” from jazz’s greats. The “melodic approach to jazz improvisation” you’ll find in these pages teaches you to negotiate chords melodically, and is designed to keep you learning for a long, long time.
The new, revised edition contains even more explanatory text, ideas and suggestions. It now comes with more ways to help you develop and expand your own personal style of practicing and playing and actually learn how to teach yourself to improvise.
