Many of the devices and techniques used by "Cannonball" Adderley are covered in this text.

All the lines have been transposed into one key and grouped by the harmonic background they can be played against.
The accompanying play-along CD enables students to first practice the material in one key, and then master each line in all twelve keys, working around the circle of fourths.
