?Mili Bermejo?s Vocal Jazz Improvisation is the most comprehensive vocal book I have ever seen on improvisation. Her years of research and her wisdom and artistry leave no stones unturned. I would recommend this book to instrumentalists as well, to develop their ears and breadth of expression.?
?Jerry Bergonzi, Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator

?I have been a huge fan of Mili as an artist for many years now, and have admired her impeccable skills as a teacher for just as long. Seeing Mili perform in duo with Dan Greenspan is one of the great wonders of the world. They make voice and bass seem like an orchestra, harmonically rich and complete, and emotionally compelling. How lucky for us that Mili has written a book on improvisation from her own assured and gracious vantage point. Her approach is accessible, organic, personal, and best of all, inspiring! She takes the fear factor out and provides tools to make improvisation a truly creative and joyful experience.?
?Peter Eldridge, Jazz Singer, Pianist, Composer (New York Voices)

Here is a book with clever, effectively organized information for all vocalists to develop a practical framework that covers the foundation to find confidence, strength and ultimately freedom as a vocal improviser.
Mili?s music speaks to the heart, overflowing with humanity, joy, and compassion, and this book does the same. Mili traces a clear path, guiding us step by step along the way. She draws on her own experience, which I must say reflects all vocalists? experience, as we walk this fascinating journey of jazz singing.?

If you've heard jazz guitarists like Joe Pass play chord melody you may think that the style requires an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory musical super-powers or making a deal with the devil. But fear not! This bookwill show you how to create your own satisfying chord melody arrangements on the Mandolin...and will do so in a practical applicable way.'Aaron Weinstein has many musical accomplishments. I am very proud to have playeda small part with some of them. When he was only 12 he made his first recordings and asked me to play Mandolin on them. I was knocked out to encounter someone that young that was conversant in both old-time or contest fiddling andJoe Venuti style jazz. Not long after that Aaron became interested in the Mandolin and chords and he came by every so often to play and discuss voicings improvisation and the like. I showed him some of the Jethro Burns chordmelody arrangements that Jethro showed me. I've been teaching those for decades in hopes of one day playing them smoothly myself!Fast forward a few more years and Aaron has a Berklee degree traveled the worldplaying hot Violin music and is hobnobbing with the greatest NYC jazz stars. And oh yeah one other thing: he took the art of chord-melody Mandolin style to an entirely new level! The rich harmonies of the standard jazz and showtune repertoire the swinging bass lines and connecting chords and independent voice movements (doing more than one thing at a time) are all present in Aaron's style thanks to his great ear open mind and gift at locating thingson the fretboard. And now Aaron has documented explained and shared his discoveries and approach with all of us in this book. Thank you Aaron!This is truly a step-by-step method that you will enjoy. You'll findyourself saying 'oh of course!' as the author gets you playing and understanding things that sound very detailed and complex. The first section I would call the mandolinistic stuff: the how-to on getting things moving and
