Summary of This Book

Designed for musicians already comfortable with the basics, this book offers a progressive approach to take a step towards richer and more modern jazz harmony. The starting point relies on common elements of diatonic harmony, then evolves them through simple-to-understand processes to gradually increase harmonic complexity and the finesse of application in improvisational contexts.

Throughout the study, you develop a broader chord vocabulary and learn to add more interest to your phrases through extensions and alterations, integrated as a natural part of your language. The goal is not to stack theoretical concepts but to anchor practical reflexes to achieve more color, depth, and harmonic coherence, regardless of your improvisation style.

The method is also rich in ideas to "open the ear": it encourages exploration, discovery of new sounds, and the search for a musical identity. Once the concepts are assimilated, the presented principles can be reused independently to continue experimenting, varying progressions, and building a unique, more personal sound, while strengthening the links between chord scales, arpeggios, and voicings (drop 2 / drop 3).
