Book is new but book cover is not in perfect condition

Publisher : Hal Leonard
Authors: Dave Frank, John Amaral
 
The book contains lessons of graduated difficulty, and every lesson includes a technical exercise, loads of hip jazz voicings, a “solo pattern” for transposition, and an original blues tune and jazz line (based on a standard) written by Dave.

Lessons  explore more advanced chord voicings, chord arranging techniques and more challenging blues and melodic lines. The accompanying enhanced CD is used in conjunction with the text and music as a listening and play-along tool.
Each book includes an CD enhanced for PC and Mac containing valuable verbal teaching by Dave, and recordings of all the exercise and tunes.

Included as well is a unique discography of great jazz solos and 52 inspiring quotes from the jazz and blues greats.

“Not only will the Joy Of Improv approach work, but as the man says, it will be joyful!” - Lee Konitz
“If you’re a musician who really wants to stretch your creativity, Joy Of Improv is an excellent place to start” - Dr. Billy Taylor
