What is being said about:
Bebop Scales how to Understand, Practice, and Use
|
I purchased Scott's book and think it's not only very well done, but worthy of national attention. It will certainly help me move forward with my playing.
Jeff Lewis -- President of the Tucson Jazz Society
Scott Black introduced me to the bebop scale in 1989. At that time I had a pretty good grasp of the language of bebop and how line construction works. However, what he showed me about the bebop scale and what he learned from Barry Harris at his legendary New York City classes took me to a whole new level! Now that information is available in his new book so that every serious jazz student may see how to unlock the potential of the bebop scale and play better lines. You'd better add this one to your library!
Mike Kocour -- Director of Jazz Studies at Arizona State University
Whether you're a beginning improviser or a seasoned professional, "Bebop Scales" provides some much-needed structure to the seemingly chaotic world of be-bop. With this book, you'll learn how to blaze over changes with more meaningful lines that highlight the sounds which make be-bop so colorful.
Martin Patfield -- jazz trumpeter and graduate student -- University of Arizona
For guitar players studying jazz, this book is vital in learning the full expression of the bebop scale. Prior to work with Scott Black, I had known of the scale but had very little idea as to how to actually use it. With this book you will be able to spell chords with fluid moving lines in the likes of a horn player. I highly recommend this book as a means to fully understand what may be the most important sound in jazz soloing.
Ed DeLucia -- jazz guitarist and leading instructor in Tucson, Arizona
As a jazz pianist and instructor with a passion for the music of Wynton Kelly, Tommy Flanagan, Barry Harris and Sonny Clark. Scott Black's "Bebop Scales" method is the most concise and complete approach I have seen to understand and learn to play this music -- highly recommended!
John Foshager -- jazz pianist & instructor at Wisconsin Conservatory of Music
