Jazz Musicianship: A Guidebook for Integrated Learning Volume 1 (Avivo Publications)

Jazz Musicianship is an integrated curriculum for mastering jazz theory and improvisation. Applicable for all instruments and voice, concepts are taught experientially through singing, playing, listening, writing, composing, and improvising. With creative application activities in every section, students develop their personal voices while mastering the materials of the jazz language step by step. “I think that Jazz Musicianship is an incredibly thorough, very well done, approach to learning jazz from the bottom up, laying strong foundations for further explorations and understanding of the jazz idiom. I am very impressed.” - Marilyn Crispell "What an accomplishment, with a wide scope of information, concisely phrased, addressing original concepts in an accessible format. Your book holds a place of honor, in my jazz library, next to Baker, Coker and Levine - keeping 'fast' company - but much deserved." Steve Crews
