"This book brings significant new insight to the art of jazz improvisation and should be an important addition to jazz pedagogy. Hal's approach to improvisation is a refreshing alternative to the usual 'learn your scales and good luck' methods. This book addresses the elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony in a manner that truly provides the student with a process and practice routine which enables the development of an improvisational technique so essential to the creative jazz musician."
Larry Monroe (Chairman, Professional Performance Division, Berklee College of Music)"

Bristol Book Bank is an independent online bookstore with a simple idea behind it: good books deserve another reader. Based in Bristol, we rescue, sort and rediscover thousands of pre-owned books from local collections, clearances and donations.

Our shelves are constantly changing and can include everything from history, nature and travel to art, local interest, specialist subjects, collectable editions and books you may not come across in an ordinary bookshop.
