We'd all like to say we understand jazz, but how many of us really know the difference between a Wes Montgomery and a Joe Pass solo? Who's got the time to study all those complicated chords? This little book explains how not to become confused on receiving the instruction:
"OK, cats, It's vamping on the one with your pedal twos, then into the head on the nod."
Learn how to play some impressive solos and where to buy a pork pie hat. Discover how easy chord substitution is and where to sit in relation to the horn player in order to avoid a breach of etiquette. Develop the skill of speaking as if you know what you're talking about (This can be quite a useful skill even for non-jazzers!)
