The 50 ideas are divided into three main sections: Harmony – explores scales, arpeggios, chord substitutions, harmonic embellishments, and other harmonic phrasing ideas; Rhythm – covers legato tonguing, swing feel, rhythmic displacement, how to manipulate time, and other aspects of rhythmic phrasing; Melody – discusses contour lines, making patterns musical, developing a motif, building a solo, and many other melodic phrasing ideas. The companion audio, accessed online for download or streaming, contains 26 demo tracks for listening, as well as many play-along examples so you can practice improvising over various musical styles and progressions. Also available for guitar, keyboard, and tenor saxophone.

This is a first class publication for trumpet players who wish to have skills in improvising. Inclusion of a CD is a must for all modern methods and instruction books; Aural concepts must be given to students so that skills are not learnt in isolation. The structure of the book is well laid out and can be attempted in bite size bits or turn straight to the sports pages!!! The sections on shaping and contouring solos are to a must more serious soloists and the basic structures are informative and helpful for our first time adventure.
