Scales provide the basis for jazz improvisation and fill-ins. The scales presented in this book produce idiomatic sounds associated with many jazz styles. The jazz scales may be simply defined as those which do not fall into the traditional category. This book explores the jazz scales and examines their potential. While this is not a jazz improvisation method, the study of the material will certainly provide the player with additional resources in this area ... Each chapter includes charts with scales written in all keys with suggested fingerings and a list of chords which complement each scale. Music examples apply the scales to jazz chord progressions and compositions.
