“John Zappa's new book, Harmonic Facility for Instrumentalists is a virtual treasure trove of information for the improvising musician, starting with fundamental building block material, and expanding to encompass many of the complex harmonic structures found in contemporary music. As the tile suggests, it's not just for one instrument, but for ALL instruments! This book is highly recommended” - Jim Rotondi - Trumpeter and Educator
