Minor Is Major!

Minor is Major! gives jazz improvisers hundreds of ways to negotiate their way through chord progressions in minor keys, including scale choices, hidden chords within those scales, and melodic patterns based on the intervals in the scales. Numerous transcriptions are included of great jazz improvisers such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Clifford Brown, McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson and Chick Corea, and important jazz composers such as Billy Strayhorn, Horace Silver, Dizzy Gillespie, and Wayne Shorter, showing how they use harmonic and melodic minor scales. If you are a jazz player, this book is for you!
