Dominant Seventh is possibly
the most substituted, colored, and altered
sound in modern music. Its flexibility and
distinctive nature made it a favorite of
composers throughout the 20th century and
allowed it to dominate Blues and Rock And Roll.
This unique Play-A-Long explores the very nature of the Dom.
7th sound and describes different ways jazz masters have used it
for color and texture. Many written patterns will open your ears
and extended tracks on 2 CDs will allow you to practice licks and
patterns, refine your technique and reaction time, and give you the
skills to navigate Dominant 7ths with confidence.

drawing a breath, yet most musicians
are hindered by self-consciousness,
apprehension, self-doubt and stress. Before we can
truly express our inner self, we must first learn to be
at peace and overcome the distractions that can make
performance difficult. Kennys remarkable work deals
directly with these hindrances, and suggests ways to let
our natural creative powers flow freely.

vocabulary. Author, musician, and educator Joe Riposo
has devised an effective method of teaching this concept
over his long and successful career as an educator. Concise
and to-the-point, Developing A Jazz Vocabulary equates the
art of proper note choice and phrase-building to the process
of learning the alphabet for word-building. This book is
for all musicians wishing to have a better understanding of connecting chords and
developing phrases. 56 pages of material.

176 pages! What would you play when you see the chord
symbols A7b9#9, F7+5, Csusb9 or DbMaj7+5? What
would you blow over a D Locrian #2? The Melodic Minor
Handbook provides musicians of all levels with these
answers in presenting a concise, practical, easy to absorb
method of exposure, study and practice in the components
of Melodic Minor Harmony, and its use within the Jazz
vocabulary. Although the sound of Melodic Minor Harmony has been a staple of
Jazz music over the last half century, familiarity among many aspiring musicians
with its derivative modes and chord types still seems to remain a mystery; even
though touched upon to a greater or lesser degree by various books and methods,
a comprehensive study stressing Melodic Minor Harmony as a unique harmonic
universe of its own has been absent ... until now!

EFFORTLESS MASTERY
by Kenny Werner
Playing music should be as simple as drawing a breath, yet most musicians are hindered by selfconsciousness, apprehension, self-doubt and stress. Before we can truly express our inner self, we
must first learn to be at peace and overcome the distractions that can make performance difficult.
Kennys remarkable work deals directly with these hindrances, and suggests ways to let our natural
creative powers flow freely.
DVD features Kenny speaking to students and educators.
20th Anniversary Edition features foil embossed cover, added chapters and articles, testimonials
from Herb Alpert, Quincy Jones & others.
