Love to learn to improvise but think you’re too old? Read what one such musician had to say:

“After a 30+ year hiatus, I picked up my horn again a few years ago, and Ive been struggling to learn how to improvise ever since. (I’ve bought just about every course and program out there, but am still trying to “break the code,” if you know what I mean.) You have a way of making jazz improv accessible to old guys like me that I haven’t come across before, and a way of making it fun, as well.”
– T.W. Elliot (Florida USA)

“Jazz Improvisation- The Fundamentals”

It’s popular – because it’s fun! Playing licks with backing tracks right from the first exercise, this book in beginner and medium level will help you gain a comfort with common chords, as well as develop some licks from basic to bebop.
