Outside Shore Music
A Jazz Improvisation Primer

This is the online version of my text, A Jazz Improvisation Primer. Here you can find information on almost every topic relating to jazz improvisation, from jazz history to music theory to practical advice on playing in a group.

A German translation, by Edgar Lins, is online, at http://msjipde.uteedgar-lins.de.  There is also a Hungarian translation at http://w3.enternet.hu/mbha/primer_hu/primer.htm, provided by Makrai Balázs.  A Portuguese translation by Cláudio Brandt can be found at http://www.jazzbossa.com/sabatella/.  And now there is a French version at http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/primer_french.pdf.  Portions of this text were formerly available in Italian, courtesy of Roberto Betti, at http://www.geocities.com/brittu.geo/Jip/JIPmain.html, but that site is gone.  If anyone has any information on where a copy of that work can currently be found, please contact me!

A Jazz Improvisation Primer is brought to you by the Outside Shore Online Music School, providers of educational products and services for jazz musicians.

While this text is freely browsable, there is no downloadable version of this material. If you would like a printed copy, you can order it as A Whole Approach To Jazz Improvisation.
