Contrast and Continuity in Jazz Improvisation

Publisher : Advance Music

While nearly all great solos contain a delicate balance of contrast and continuity in the broader sense, (rhythm, range, harmonic interest & variation, dynamics, pacing, etc) this concept illustrates the way towards creating a diatonic, multi-colored and contemporary language for jazz improvisation.

"A wonderful resource and a MUST HAVE for all jazz educators and all serious jazz students. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness that Mike Rossi exhibits in his teaching and his playing is mirrored throughout this superb book. Excellently presented with concise text, it will prove invaluable in helping students develop and perfect the art of practising and the art of musical performance"
