Items related to Creative Jazz Improvisation
Synopsis
For college-level courses in jazz improvisation and advanced high school students. The book is also a focused curriculum for private teachers and self-directed learners.
Integrates many things jazz musicians need to master including theoretical explanations, exercises in all keys and tempos; transcribed solos of master improvisers; repertoire lists; as well as discussions of creativity and how to play with other musicians.
This text is a direct outgrowth of Scott Reeves' experience teaching jazz improvisation at the college level for over twenty-seven years, as well as his own personal quest to develop as a jazz artist. When he first began teaching improvisation, he could not find a text that incorporated all of the diverse learning strategies that jazz musicians typically practice. So he wrote out worksheets which eventually evolved into Creative Jazz Improvisation.

- Keyboard, ear-training, and theory exercises
- Lists of important jazz compositions, indexed to the popular Aebersold play-along recordings
- Eighteen transcriptions of solos by master jazz artists―analyzed, transposed, and edited for all instruments
The third edition expands on previous editions by adding:
- A new chapter, "Whom to Listen To," which lists major innovators, important contributors, and women in jazz
- Considerable expansion of the chapter on "Rhythm" and the section on "Creative Jazz Improvisation"
- New transcriptions of solos by Max Roach, Miles Davis, and Bill Evans
- Inspirational quotations by jazz masters, designed to motivate the student and give insight into the workings of the creative mind
Author/trombonist/composer Scott Reeves draws on over twenty-one years of experience teaching at institutions such as the City College of New York, the University of Southern Maine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Memphis State University, and Western Washington University to create a book that covers all aspects of jazz improvisation without superfluous information. Students and teachers alike will appreciate its accessible, well-organized approach to a complex subject.
