A Practical Approach to Jazz Improvisation

For All Instruments! By Ben Markley.

Learn how to create your own etudes in the style of your favorite players! Doing so reveals their favorite phrases and stylistic tendencies, allowing you to better understand and absorb their approach and concept (plus, you have unique, hip etudes that will be fun to play and share with your friends and students.) Well-known pianist David Hazeltine used this method to develop his own style and refined it over the years to help his students. Now, it is available in book form for all who want to master the art of better phrasing.

This is NOT a piano book. This is a single-line approach designed for ALL instrumentalists, including piano.
