’Studies In Odd Time Signatures’ includes 12 improvised solo transcriptions over common chord progressions as well as 30 unique lines derived from those transcriptions written out in all 12 keys focusing on a variety of meters and harmonic sequences. 
 
The transcriptions were performed with the intention to be challenging but accessible at a variety of levels, demonstrating clean harmonic and rhythmic line construction as it would occur in an improvised setting. Daily study and becoming familiar with this content is guaranteed to improve sight reading skills, time feel and rhythmic vocabulary. 
 
Practice tracks of each transcription are provided both at the tempo the were originally recorded at as well as at a reduced speed for rhythmic accuracy. There is also a catalog of 30 different harmonic sequences played in an odd meter for students looking to practice playing in all 12 key centers. The standard chord progressions included are: 
 
My Shining Hour in 7/4
Airegin in 10/8
Donna Lee in 7/4
Bernie's Tune in 5/4
Solar in 4/4
Lazy Bird in 7/4
I'll Remember April in 9/8
Donna Lee in 7/8
U.M.M.G in 9/8
What is This Thing Called Love in 7/4
My Right Hip in 4/4
Stablemates in 11/8
 
Upon learning each solo, rhythmic and harmonic mastery of the improvised information can be obtained through studying the 30 unique lines played over key harmonic sequences found in these standards. The Harmonic Sequences looked at are: 
 
Stagnant Tonalities
i-7 | V7b9 | i-7
Short + Long ii V Is
Minor ii V Is
I∆7 | VI7b9 | ii -7
I∆7 | VI7b9 | II7#11
ii-7 | V7 | I∆7 | VI7b9 
iii-7 VI7b9 | ii-7 V7 | I∆7 | I∆7
i-7 | VI7#11
biii-7 | bIV7 | ii-7 | V7 | I∆7
bII7 | I7
 
A thorogh study of this material will undoubtedly lead to a heightened perspective of how to improvise over odd meters in a variety of settings.
