If
beginning players learn
the twelve major scales,
twelve jazz melodic minor
scales, two whole tone
scales and three
diminished scales, they
will be able to negotiate
more than 95% of the
chords that will be
coming their way. Many
corresponding scales that
fit chords are simply
modes of one the above
scales. A major scale
gives seven modes that
fit seven different
chords. Times that by
twelve and 84 chords can
be covered by simply
knowing the twelve major
scales. It can sound
overwhelming, not to
worry, after all music is
about what you have to
say not how many musical
nick-knacks you collect.
Jazz players of all eras
have looked for new
devices to experiment
with. Students are no
different. Once I have
given the foundation of
the above scales I let
students choose a sound
or device that they like.
This book is a result of
that teaching
perspective. It is also a
result of me being tired
of writing out the same
information year after
year and serves as a
compilation of many jazz
improvisation and
compositional techniques.
Learning them all is not
the goal. The book is
simply a collection and
includes brief
explanations and drills
to help utilize a new
sound into a player's
vocabulary. This text can
be used individually or
in a group of any
instrument combination. A
good number of the
chapters are organized
specifically for
this.
