Summary of This Method
Designed for musicians who already work on their scales and chords, this method offers a very concrete approach to understanding and applying jazz harmony on a daily basis. Each recording track is accompanied by the necessary scales and chords, clearly notated on the staff, to immediately connect theory, reading, and playing.
The core content is based on 120 written patterns to practice with the different tracks: an excellent lever to develop fluidity, articulation, bebop vocabulary, and the ability to "follow" a chord progression without getting lost. For pianists (or to better visualize the harmony), the method adds three pages of voicings directly aligned with the tracks, ideal for working on chord placement, colors, and progressions.
The " Scale Syllabus " section brings a more advanced dimension: it helps to find and use substitution scales, as professional musicians do, in order to vary colors and enrich improvisation. You will be able to practice and hear, within a guided framework, the sounds of major, minor, dominant 7, diminished, whole tone, half-diminished (m7b5), Lydian and other common colors of modern jazz.
The provided tracks cover essential situations: II/V7/I in major keys, minor G blues, F blues with an 8-bar bridge, bebop changes, altered V7 chords (including +9) resolving to I, as well as random progressions to test your reflexes. Recommended prerequisite: having worked through Volumes 1 and 2 to fully benefit from the progression.
