"This book brings to light new insight to the art of jazz improvisation and should be an important addition to jazz pedagogy. Hal's approach to improvisation is a refreshing alternative to the usual 'learn your scales and good luck' methods. This books addresses the elements of rhythm, melody and harmony in a manner that truly provides the student with a process and practice routin which enables the development of an improvisational technique so essential to the jazz musician."
