Boost Your Jazz Improvisation Skills with Chord Progressions

Starting with simple 2-chord and 4-chord exercises in each key, it helps students master common chord progressions like I-IV-V, ii-V-I, blues, etc. providing a strong foundation for the more advanced challenges found in the included audition songs. Many of these songs have been used for years for District level jazz auditions. Every exercise has a background riff included so students can take turns soloing over each riff, and keep everyone busy.Â
