A good friend of mine, Brian Kane, has developed a fantastic new book series called "Constructing Melodic Jazz Improvisation". It contains detailed explanations and analysis of the creative and improvisational techniques musicians use for style, phrasing, solo development, and motivic improvisation in an easy to follow step-by-step format.
...And get this: The book includes a 52 track play-a-long and demonstration CD!!! WOW!!!
In addition, Brian will make available several free lessons (via podcast and on Jazz-O-Matic.com) that highlight information from each chapter. Listen to these samples:
Lesson 1 - Practicing Location Within Form
Lesson 2 - Learning the Basic Language of Jazz
This is an awesome book and I highly recommend checking it out. More information can be found on Brian's site: www.JazzPath.com
Enjoy!
