| Re: Things to work on for Improv.
listen, learn scales, learn patterns in all keys/modes, transcribe, learn tunes, and memorize as much as possible.
the aebersold books are great and so is the program band in a box... Coker's jazz patterns, and jazztrumpetsolos.com (along with other internet sites) are all great resources.
this short and list may sound simple but it's a lot to work on. I find the diffuculty in practicing jazz is doing it in a organize and effective manner (meaning that's it's tought finding the mix between learning jazz and working on trumpet mechanics).. this is just me though.. |
