Over sixty original studies in a variety of Jazz styles. The book is divided into three parts with part one introducing the beginner to jazz rhythms, including swing quavers, syncopation and displaced accents. Part two contains twenty carefully graded melodic jazz studies and part three encourages the budding jazz trombonist to use these studies as the basis for further creative jazz improvisation. Through its systematic, methodical approach, Progressive Jazz Studies helps you play stylish jazz from the very beginning.
