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.
