The Blues Scales: Essential Tools for Jazz Improvisation, Bb Version (Book & CD)

Endorsed by Michael Brecker, Jamey Aebersold, and others, this is the only book that shows how blues scales can be used to create meaningful jazz solos, even if you are a total beginner. The accompanying CD of Dan with his working New York rhythm section demonstrates how each exercise should sound, as well as giving the student an hour of swinging play-along accompaniment to practice with. Also features many transcribed phrases of blues scale playing by the masters of jazz.
