Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition); as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits; maps; sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images; so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts; we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

He made one comment that I felt was earth-shattering (in a good way). He commented on how knowledge of jazz has grown to the point its difficult to learn jazz improvisation without professional help. This made me feel much better as a lifelong; self-taught student who found the average local jazz musician cannot; or will not articulate how he learned to improvise. There is a lot of inadequate teaching out there; and David Baker fills the gap. I recommend his Aebersold Book as well where he provides 8 original jazz tunes. Search on David Baker Aebersold. Its a blue cover book with red or white lettering. It has Mirroire Noir; Bossa Belle and other jazz tunes in it; that are more modern than traditional; classic jazz tunes. More in line with songs by Herbie Hancock such as Watermelon Man but with more complex chord changes and melodies. Anyway; I wont be reselling this book any time soon!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A must for the Jazz studentBy Alexis ElliotI got this to learn some of the secrets of improvisation. It is jam packed with exercises; scales; chords and studies for the novice to experienced jazz musician. It is a must for anyone interested in improving their knowledge and skills in improv.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy malcolm stewartexcellent
