    Hal Galper's Forward Motion

    in Theory and Technique

    Posted

    This book is really good, just a totally refreshing approach to playing and studying jazz. I think if you work from this, your improvisations will become more melodic and have more [i]meaning[/i]. Hal shows how the 'play this scale over that chord' approach to improvisation has its limitations - apparent when you look at what the masters [i]actually[/i] play on records.

    some topics include

    the importance of chord tone improvisation
    RHYTHM!
    how all 12 notes are available at any time
    how to use substitutions over the original harmony (eg, superimposing triads)

    Of course, it is still important to know your scales but Hal shows how to practice them so you get maximum benefit from them and you are making music, spelling out the changes in your lines without sounding like a beginner.

    Highly recommended!

    Couriers & packing.

    If anyone needs an item picked up from a collection only seller, I'd recommend Pack & Send. Just won a cab & head on eBay that the seller couldn't package. Pack & Send picked up from his, packed the whole thing properly (2 layers of bubble wrap, 1 layer of bigger bubble wrap, thick cardboard to the exact size). Whole thing cost not a lot more than a standard courier.

    I'd still need a hard case for a bass though for this to work, wouldn't I?
