ADDITIONAL WORKS
“Once a decade, a theory treatise is written for jazz educators, the Comprehensive Technique for Jazz Musicians is such a text as it contains an anthology of technical, compositional and theoretic exercises as well as an anthology wealth of musical examples. What makes this treatise so interesting is that it is written expressively for the performer.”  IAJE Journal
