BOOK DESCRIPTION
Anatomy of a Melody: The Interactive Guide to Jazz Improvisation aims to unlock the many mysteries of jazz improvisation — one of music’s greatest enigmas. The musician is encouraged to move step-by-step through engaging and interactive material, developing an understanding of (and an ear for) the details needed to learn the language of jazz.
Topics covered include foundational concepts in melodic and rhythmic construction, thorough explorations of blues and classic jazz, and the specifics needed for adding chromaticism in bebop and contemporary styles, all while consistently supporting the musician in the quest to crack the code and create an informed and highly personal musical statement.
This book serves as a step-by-step roadmap to becoming a better improviser, a complete reference guide to jazz music, a visual manual for creating music, and a comprehensive theory and harmony text. Ideal for individual practice, private lessons, or classroom and ensemble settings.
