This book includes materials commonly used by a jazz musician and is presented in order of complexity and need. The book is not intended to be an arranging or an improvisation text, but a pedagogical reference. Each chapter concludes with study questions and exercises for the specific concept. The appendices offer additional tools.--Ministry of Education website.
