 Melodic patterns are life! December 12, 2008
If you can't make patterns out of scales then all you have are the scales running up and down which can get pretty boring! These author/teachers have put together a cohesive method of approaching melodic patterns which will lead to a greater creativity in your playing. The way they present these will lead you to be able to create your own ideas, and then hopefully I will be enjoying your sounds down the road someday!
Game Plan for Ingraining the Rudiments September 18, 2008
The word "pattern" is sometimes associated with mechanical execution without thought or inspiration. The truth is that before a musical idea can be executed the mechanics must be worked out. The fingers must be ready to move to the right keys or frets to produce the tones the ear is hearing. Practing patterns is a great way to get the fingers and ears in synch.
As far as pattern books go this one is well rounded -- many other pattern books concentrate on specific progressions or idioms (see: David Baker).
I would like to recommend this book however there are some things that anyone who is considering purchasing it should be aware of:
* The book is written for ALL treble clef instruments***. That means there are no suggested fingerings, and DEFINITELY NO TAB!
* In most cases only a short sketch is given to establish a pattern. The student is required to transpose the pattern according to a given chord progression that cycles through all 12 keys.
* It is up to the student to apply patterns to his/her instrument. That means working out each pattern in all fingerings through the full range of the instrument. If you only play each pattern using the easiest fingering through one octave in the most comfortable range, the fruits of your labors will be minimal at best.
*** There is also a bass clef edition.

This book is a classic all jazz students should have. Really helps the cerebral jazzer work on his improvisation. Jerry Coker is the father of all jazz educators, even Aebersold and Baker would agree!
