What are the differences or similarities between this book and the other jazz pattern book on the market ?

This book has a unique approach to practicing patterns. Rather than list out the patterns chromatically ascending or descending, you are encouraged to practice them through various cycles of chords. It really helps internalize the material and get it under your fingers in a way that is both technically challenging and mentally stimulating. I ordered a copy of this book not too long ago and have found it to be a great resource. You can even change a few notes in each pattern (especially the pentatonic ones) to find some new sounds and work on hearing shapes through all 12 keys. |

The other aspect I like about this book is the ideas are trumpet friendly. Some of the other jazz patterns books seem to be geared more towards sax players. _________________ Brent |

Thanks for the tip Brent. I just bought the book and it looks like it will be fun to work through. _________________ Schagerl Sig. James Morrison
