| The obvious answer is to listen to the greats, and not so greats, and transpose and memorize.
Also, I'd recommend the following two books... Bebop Bible by Les Wise, 1982 and published by Robert E. Hutchinson and 1001 Jazz Licks A Complete Jazz Vocabulary for the Improvising Musician by Jack Shneidman, 2000 Cherry Lane Music Company.
Good luck. |
