Methods and studies serve in a sense as conveyances which enable an individual to arrive at a certain musical destination. The old-fashioned books no longer suffice as vehicles to bring the student instrumentalist to the point of efficient performance demanded by constantly evolving conceptions.

These studies were written to fill the gap in modern literature and give performers a chance to learn modern jazz, big band, and popular music styles with clear direction and actionable advice. These studies work on odd meter, style, falls and stylistic elements, different types of blues, tempos, and advanced rhythms. This book is an absolute riot and I am so glad to make it available again.
