Summary of This Method
This method is designed to help you deeply master the "I Got Rhythm Changes," an essential jazz language progression. It starts from the basics of rhythmic playing and guides you toward a more "performance" understanding of the progression, with practical application directly focused on improvisation. The book highlights how these chord changes have shaped jazz history, notably mentioning Charlie Parker, who worked on "I Got Rhythm" in all 12 keys and recorded these progressions many times. To build reflexes, you will find a written melody, dedicated spaces for choruses, as well as a step-by-step path with instructions and examples of common techniques for playing over the changes. The method also covers practice tracks around different scale colors (blues, diminished, pentatonic, etc.) to broaden your vocabulary and learn to target harmony precisely. Special sections offer slow recorded tracks designed to help you hear chord movements and secure your rhythmic placement. The recordings feature a rhythm section: Jim McNeely on piano, Todd Coolman on double bass, and Steve Davis on drums.
