This ground-breaking book/audio package will show you (or your students) how to use the major and minor blues scales to improvise meaningful solos without having to first master all the scales and chords of a tune. Good for all levels, but essential for beginners, perfect for intermediate students, and even useful for professional players to hone their skills on this crucial and often neglected part of the jazz language. The accompanying audio download by author Dan Greenblatt and his quartet of swinging, New York jazz musicians shows how each exercise should sound. And it also gives the student numerous play-along tracks to practice with. This book also includes great transcriptions from Miles, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, Oscar Peterson, Dave Sanborn, Michael Brecker and many more, showing how the blues scales are actually used in various styles of jazz.
