Have you ever wished that you could improvise through tunes with changes like the really great players such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and John Coltrane? Now the secret of how these players developed this skill is revealed to you in a new course of study by pianist / composer Mike Longo called "The Technique of Creating Harmonic Melody for the Jazz Improviser." During the 1960's jazz musicians began to experiment with modal playing. The primary musicians involved in this new direction were artists such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane as well as others. All of the above mentioned musicians, however, had mastered the art of playing on the changes or creating lines derived out of the voice leading from the harmonic progression. The use of modes and scales such as pentatonics and lydian chomatic scales played over interval structures began to saturate most of the jazz being recorded during the 1970s and 80s. Consequently, many of the new musicians who came into jazz during this period embraced this kind of playing exclusively. As a result, the art of lyricism in jazz more or less got lost in the shuffle and a sort of modal drone permeated much of the playing. This caused many players, although gifted, to sound alike. At the beginning of the 90s a new breed of young jazz artistis has come on the scene. They have turned back to Be Bop and older styles because they realize that there is something to be gained from these approaches that they cannot get anywhere else. Once again, the art of playing through changes is becoming fashionable with most of today's players involved in the pusuit of this comprehensive musical skill. Since most jazz education has been centered around the scale and mode approach for the past twenty-five years, not much information is presently available on how to develop the skill of playing through changes. Mr. Longo has completely solved this problem for you with "The Technique of Creating Harmonic Melody for the Jazz Improviser." Sax and flute master James Moody had this to say: " This is by far the most effective approach to this kind of playing I have ever encountered. Not only do I pass on this information to young students in the clinics that I do, I have found it to be a tremendous learning experience for my own playing."
