'Improv
isational Patterns: The
Bebop Era' is a series of
pattern books predicated
on the belief that while
certain patterns seem to
transcend eras and
styles, the greater body
of improvisational
material is of high
specificity with regard
to its time and place
within the jazz
continuum. The bebop era
initiates the series
since in the minds of
many people, (the author
included), this era is
the common practice
period of jazz music.
While the patterns in
this book are also highly
specific, they enjoy a
greater continuing
currency than do the
patterns of any other
period in jazz's brief
history. The many II V7,
cycle and turnaround
patterns are based on
protracted studies of
literally hundreds of
solos by the jazz greats
of the bebop era. Volume
1 is over 100 pages and
volumes 2 and 3 are over
50 pages each, making
this one of the biggest
jazz improv books ever
written.
