If you can play a memorized solo but find yourself repeating it note for note, this eBook shows you how to turn familiar phrases into material for a new chorus. Follow a five-stage practice sequence: hear where phrases begin and end, choose fragments you can recall on their own, free them from their original order, change how they work, and connect them to the harmonic moment. You’ll learn to listen for phrase shape, space, repetition, and resolution; use the chord as an address for a phrase; and build a chorus with more than quotes. Designed for instrumentalists who have invested time learning jazz solos and want to make that material more available in their own improvising.
