PATTERNS FOR JAZZ stands as a monument among jazz educational materials. Condensed charts and pertinent explanations are conveniently inserted throughout the book to give greater clarity to the application of more than 400 patterns built on chords and scales -- from simple (major) to complex (lydian augmented scales).

Want to learn about Celebration?By David DennisAndrew Ross didnt want to like Celebration. His urban friends laughed at him when he moved there to do research for this book. In the end. he liked some of the ideas behind the town. but hated the fact that it took Disney to think them up. His blind hatred for the corporate world shows up in every page of this book. so if you want to read anti-corporation diatribes. this is a dream read. But if you actually want to find out about Celebration. youll find the books subject curiously neglected. This is an odd beast. a book about Celebration that hardly seems to be about the town at all. For an excellent view of the town. read the other book written at about the same time by a couple who became Celebration homeowners. They have a much less knee-jerk perspective.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Very entertaining. Ross keeps you interested throughout.By A CustomerI bought this book to read on vacation while in another intentional planned community (Black Rock City) and found it to be fascinating.Ross review is multi-dimensional; he shows that he can be both complimentary and critical of Disney at the same time. If he has an axe to grind. it doesnt show. and he gives credit where credit is due. and criticism where it is also due.It also functions reasonably well as a tutorial on urban planning and New Urbanism. a topic near and dear to everyone who lives anywhere but in the rural world. He only slips off topic occassionally. and even then not for long (and its still interesting).I recommend you buy this book; you will be entertained and fascinated. though not necessarily in that order.
