Synopsis

Learn to improvise on saxophone and clarinet over the most recognised tune in jazz

Once you have learnt some simple strategies to improvise over jazz chord changes, the next step is chord tone soloing. Targeting the important notes of every chord in a sequence will give you a solid foundation from which you can build engaging, melodic improvised solos.

This book teaches how to do it, step-by-step, and takes an in-depth look at one of the most famous chord progressions in jazz: George Gershwin’s I Got Rhythm– known as “Rhythm Changes”.

Rhythm Changes Soloing for Saxophone & Clarinet will guide you through this essential jazz standard, while teaching you fundamental soloing techniques and improvisational skills. This practical method, devised by Buster Birch (visiting jazz professor at Trinity Conservatoire) has been road tested at hundreds of workshops. But don’t just take our word for it…
