I am putting this thread here instead of in "sheet music"because I think it will be helpful to some of us late blowers.Improvisation is probably the
most complex skill especially for us late folks.I can improvise somewhat but am always looking for that angel of information that is going to help me get better.Let me highly recommend ,"Constructing Melodic Jazz Improvisation "by Brian Kane.It is by far the clearest most comprhensive
book on the subject that I have used and the least threatning.I say that because many instructional books on improvising start with scales
and chords then heap on more scales and chords.The author here takes a all the basic skills and he goes slowly using the books C.D.for examples and playalongs.
Amazon has it and it is worth the money.
