Written in concert treble clef, this text-only volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the unique core concepts and techniques of the LJI Method.

Using a wealth of examples from the jazz repertoire, the book avoids theoretical terminology and focuses on identifying and systematically developing the four Essential Elements found in tunes: Reduced Melody, Guide-Tone Lines, Root Progression, and Melodic Rhythms.

LJI offers not only a method for focused practice of meaningful improvisation in your own style; it also supplies the very substance of what to play.
