“Although jazz is one of my favorites to listen to, I don’t teach it unless it’s written out in a score...This book is a perfect set up to succeed at improvising. As a teacher I especially liked having the recordings available for students to play with so I could guide them at first. Then I could use the accompaniment score to play with each student...The instant success is a tribute to how well written this [material] is. ” - Beverly Teague
