Most people consider improvisation to be an essential element of Jazz, and musicians occasionally use the word 'Jazz' as a synonym for improvisation. To improvise is to compose and perform simultaneously. A great deal of improvised music is spontaneous, unrehearsed, not written down beforehand. This particular book will contain exercises that have been written and formalized to determine the degrees of the scales, 1. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. We will study carefully the subdivision of every scale according to two tetrachords. The first one is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the second is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. We will also play arpeggios of all kinds to extend the scale to its maximum degree. This book will explain to the student how to start a phrase of improvisation from any starting point of the scale (major, dominant, minor, diminished, etc.) Any individual or class using this book should listen to as much jazz, recorded and live, as possible. Good luck, and remember, 'JAZZ. IS ALIVE!'.

This theoretical book is meant to improve contemporary jazz styles techniques for all musician players of modern jazz. We will divide this book into scale exercises, arpeggio exercises, jazz line phrases as well as contemporary chord progressions. Exercises consist of diatonic and chromatic exercises; and, line phrases, consist of jazz solos by great musicians such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Freddy Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Farrel, Dave Liebman, Bob Berg, Michael and Randy Brecker, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Tom Harrel, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Garrett, Branford Marsalis, Walt Weiskopf, Rich Perry, Seamus Blake, Alex Sipiagin and many other well known musicians these days. The majority of these exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so we can achieve perfect coordination. Major chords, Minor chords and Dominant chords will be extended to their highest level, in scales, arpeggios and chromatic form. There will not be key signature centres, so we will work all exercises in accidental way. These exercises were made as an extension of my first book 'Improvise Now'. There are as well many improvisational lines transcribed from some of the previously mentioned musicians.

Er zijn veel composities voor toetsinstrumenten - en daarbij is de piano of het keyboard niet altijd het solo-instrument. Juist in de pop en de jazz speelt de toetsenist vaak een belangrijke rol in de begeleiding. Anders dan in deklassieke muziek worden de akkoorden meestal niet uitgeschreven, maar staan ze aangeduid in akkoordsymbolen boven de notenbalk. Spelen met akkoorden helpt de toetsenist (op piano, keyboard of synthesizer) aan de hand van akkoordenschema??sritmisch boeiende begeleidingen te maken. Bij beide delen hoort een cd met zowel voorbeelden van alle akkoordenschema??s als luisteroefeningen. Deel 1 bevat drie kant-en-klare samenspeelstukken die zijn uitgewerktvoor diverse bezettingen, deel 2 is een logisch vervolg. Spelen met akkoorden: een methode die is voortgekomen uit de praktijk!
