From the Back Cover
Designed for professionals and students alike, the material contained in this comprehensive volume can be applied to any instrument as well as classes or ensembles of varied instrumentation. In Creative Jazz Improvisation, readers will find:
- Detailed information on how to practice, how to improvise in a creative way, and how to teach jazz improvisation
- A complete explanation of all aspects of jazz theory and forms
- Practice materials designed to help the reader gain facility with the jazz vocabulary and develop his or her ear
- 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.
