A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvising

A Lyrical Approach to Jazz Improvising

This is a definitive book on "How to Improvise" explained clearly and succinctly by trumpeter Richie Vitale. Richie has taught Master Classes and Clinics at the Eastman School of Music and lead Jazz Ensemble at Long Island University along with performing with Frank Sinatra for 5 years and more recently with the Broadway show "Come Fly Away" featuring the music of Sinatra with the Twyla Tharp dancers. This book, though written by a trumpet player, applies to all instruments and all people looking for a comprehensive book on the theory and thought process behind jazz improvisation.
