Playing on the Changes, Bb instruments

"These 13 jazz etudes take you through the various chord qualities found in standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas coverd included 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords, minor ii(b5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all the above. I've written out an etude solo that traverses the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas -such as melodic and rhythm patterns that create continuity, and singable melodies- that I strive to use when improvising through the chord changes.
Using the TNT2 software, you can listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing my saxophone from the mx, you can then practice and play on these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The amazing software allows you to slow down the tempo, too.
I hope you enjoy the journey through the 12 keys and various chords progressions. One thing is for certain: I will be using this book as much as you!"
