Enthusiastically endorsed by modern jazz luminaries such as David Liebman and Richie Beirach, Playing Outside the Chord is devoted to melodic phrasing that transcends conventional chord/scale relationships.
This exciting technique incorporating the theory and practice of horizontal playing and extended tonality pioneered by jazz titans such as Michael Brecker, Cory Henry, John Scofield, Brad Meldhau, and Jacob Collier is a vital component of the modern jazz performance and improvisation toolbox.

Featuring over 200 musical examples gleaned from classic solos, plus 15 transcriptions of legendary performances, this book is designed to clue you in on the theoretical basis of “outside” play as practiced by these  musicians. It systematically describes each type of technique used, including timing and source considerations, unlocks a wealth of modern ideas that offer rich possibilities for the creative improviser.
