Playing on the Changes—Bob Mintzer. These 13 jazz etudes review
various chord qualities found in jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include
major 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords, minor ii(b5) chords,
tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all the above. Each
etude solo traverses the changes in a way that familiarizes players with the sound
of each harmonic setting. They are also modeled after ideas, such as melodic
and rhythmic patterns, or singable melodies, that performers should strive to use
when improvising through chord changes.
