CD/Play along with David Liebman (saxophone) and Phil Markowitz (piano) "To me, this book is one of the most fascinating and illuminating books ever written on the subject of improvisation. All of the musical examples are stimulating, and Dave's essay on related topics are as elegant and insightful as anything I've ever read about improvised music. For musicians looking to expand their harmonic and melodic vocabularies, this is the book!" Pat Metheny.
