'15 Bebop Etudes Over Jazz Standards' like its predecessor has been designed to give all levels of improvisers melodic avenues through many different sets of chord changes. The progressions chosen in this collection are slightly more advanced, but still contain language that is firmly rooted in the bebop tradition. Mastery of these studies at a variety of tempos is sure to glean new insights to approaching harmony in an engaging way. It is my sincere wish that the pages to follow take your musicianship to a new level. Happy shedding!
