Playing on the Changes

Featuring 13 jazz etudes, this book explores various chord qualities in standards and jazz tunes across all 12 keys. It covers major, minor, and dominant 7th chords, among others, while introducing concepts like tritone substitutions and progressions. Bob Mintzer provides etudes that highlight melodic and rhythmic patterns, aiding in improvisation. With the TNT 2 software, users can listen to the etudes, practice independently by removing Mintzer's saxophone, and even adjust the tempo for enhanced learning.
