• Detailed information on how to practice, how to improvise in a creative way, and how to teach jazz improvisation
• A complete explanation of all aspects of jazz theory and forms

• Keyboard, ear-training, and theory exercises
• Lists of important jazz compositions, indexed to the popular Aebersold play-along recordings
• Eighteen transcriptions of solos by master jazz artists—analyzed, transposed, and edited for all instruments

The third edition expands on previous editions by adding:

• A new chapter, "Whom to Listen To," which lists major innovators, important contributors, and women in jazz
• Considerable expansion of the chapter on "Rhythm" and the section on "Creative Jazz Improvisation"
• New transcriptions of solos by Max Roach, Miles Davis, and Bill Evans
• Inspirational quotations by jazz masters, designed to motivate the student and give insight into the workings of the creative mind

Author/trombonist/composer Scott Reeves draws on over twenty-one years of experience teaching at institutions such as the City College of New York, the University of Southern Maine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Memphis State University, and Western Washington University to create a book that covers all aspects of jazz improvisation without superfluous information.
