Jazz Improvisation A Whole Brain Approach/With Cassette

Fourth Printing. An exciting new book that explores the concept Hemisphericity (Right-Left brain) & opens new avenues for learning Improvisation. Most interesting is the identification & analysis of the mental processing of performance through the four quadrants of the brain. The process used to teach or learn this creativity process is clearly labeled throughout the book. With the introduction of each new concept, the reader is reminded of the specialized function of the four quadrants of the brain. A holistic approach will teach the basic concepts of improvisation & is reinforced by practice material which has been designed to produce experiences involving the mental cognitive shift. Cassette with original tunes has been designed for experiencing the mental shift & enabling improvisation with a recorded rhythm section by Jamey Aebersold. The mental shift helps convert left brain information into right brain usable knowledge. The ultimate goal of the book is to develop musicians who can use both hemispheres equally well. This book will expose students to an experience that leads to the development of the four quadrants of the brain & learn to access information from each quadrant to make a musical response. J.R.
