l Bebop Scales (Jazz Scales & Patterns in
All 12 Keys)—Joe Riposo.
Phrase like a pro! By
simply adding one chromatic note, you can convert
the most commonly used scales into bebop scales.
Bebop scales almost magically turn scales into
jazz lines, adding melodic flow and logical forward
motion to your solos. This makes hitting those target
notes much easier and facilitates the seamless
connection of one chord to another. The one added
note makes all the difference!

Building Solo Lines from Cells
(for All Instruments)—Randy Vincent.
Building Solo Lines from Cells is a practical method
for developing the ability to create convincing jazz
solos in a wide variety of playing situations. It takes
actual jazz lines recorded by master players and
slices them into "cells" that can be re-combined into
longer lines to fit almost any harmonic situation. This
enables players to improvise lines that sound just
as interesting and melodic as the masters without
simply resorting to copying others. Some of the
harmonic situations covered include: fast-moving
cycles such as the bridge of Jordu; chromatic
II-V changes; turnarounds, including many that
are useful in dealing with rhythm changes; Jimmy
Heath's C.T.A changes and John Coltrane's Giant
Steps changes. In addition, slower moving II-Vs
are covered using various strategies for stringing
together the short cells into long flowing lines, and
much, much more!

Rhythm First! (A Beginner's Guide to Jazz
Improvisation)—Tom Kamp.
In a step-by-step
fashion, Rhythm First! builds up the student's library
of rhythmic figures and has them playing along with
the accompanying CD to get the sound and feel
of jazz soloing under their fingers. Melodically, the
book starts with playing simple rhythmic figures
on any note, then on the tonic of the F blues scale,
followed by the tonic and one other note. Over
the course of the book, it progresses to show how
and when to use three kinds of blues scales.
This method is more fun and therefore more
successful in getting students starting to improvise
than many other approaches. A must for any school
jazz program!
