This book is the first of a series, a well-organized, comprehensive theory book which addresses the most fundamental tools necessary for a good foundation in jazz improvisation: Major scale modes and harmony. The tools in this manual can also be applied to any other improvisation-based musical medium, including rock, blues, bluegrass, modern experimental classical music, and contemporary pop; but in this book they are organized and presented from a jazz perspective.
