it's a long shot, but hopefully someone might have a copy and recognise it. The one I've been lent hasn't got a front or back cover.

Patterns for Jazz, by Jerry Coker et al.

 

[Joe Giardullo]

It looks like Gary Campbell/ Jerry Coker's book PATTERNS FOR JAZZ.

I don't have a copy anymore so can't check but I lived with that book for a long time ( and studied a bit with Gary, too).

By the way, in my opinion it is a great book to study from. Doesn't write everything down, so it makes you use your ears ... and your brain

Precisely!

case solved. Thank you. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Shame I have to give it back.

just ordered it from Amazon...looks ideal, thanks for the post

It arrived today...there is some work in that book! Plenty to keep me busy for a good while

got my own too now. It's going to take some concentration and self discipline. Thanks again for the help id-ing it.

The metronome indications should really be followed. Don't move on to a new exercise until you are comfortable with the one you are working with at the upper range of the metronome reccomendation. In this way, you will have less frustration with the things that follow as the book does rely upon a very solid foundation. I like to use BIAB (Band-in-a-box) backgrounds as my metronome when working with it.

As Gary once said to me: you need to find and embrace the music that's in these exercises. That's more than half the work!
