Linear Jazz Improvisation Method Book I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578001685)

This text-only volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the core concepts and techniques of the Linear Jazz Improvisation Method. Using a wealth of examples from the jazz repertory, the book avoids theoretical terminology and focuses on the four essential elements present in every composition: melody, guide-tone lines, root progression, and rhythm. Understanding these "building blocks" of improvisation, you will be ready to put them into practice throughout your course of study.
