Introducing: "250 Jazz Patterns" - the new jazz aid
Hello! My name is
Evan Tate
and I'm a professional saxophonist and instructor with over 20 years of experience. I am currently on the jazz faculty of the
University of Music and the Performing Arts
in Munich, Germany, an Endorser for
Julius Keilwerth Saxophones
, and host of the "First and Only Saxophone Workshop on the Web as a Podcast" -
The SaxTips Podcast
.
I have created this
"250 Jazz Patterns"
in order to pass on to
YOU
the techniques I have learned from my instructors and have taught to my more than 100 students over the past 20 years!
You too
can learn to master jazz improvisation systematically and faster than ever before!
You're listening to your favorite players and you're wishing that you can play at least nearly as good as they are and do a lot of practice to get there. But your efforts don't seem to get you any closer. Starting out I know how you feel. When I was a kid juststarting out in jazz improvisation, I listened to jazz, tried to learnthe melodies to tunes, tried to learn to improvise per the "Chord/Scale" method, played transcribed solos, imitate players from records - everything I could possibly think of. |

At one point, while I was practicing Charlie Parker solos, I realized that I really didn't understand what he was doing. It all sounded great, but the noted he was playing to the chords, theoretically, didn't make sense. But it must somehow be right, right?
So, I continued to practice in blind faith. Trusting that one day I'll be able to understand.
The "Aha" Effect!
Finally, after 2 years of practicing and playing, I began to understand what was going on! "Oh, man! THAT'S what he's doing!" After that, everything seemed so simple and my improvising improved 100% , almost overnight!
In my book "250 Jazz Patterns" I want to give you the tools to improve your playing and to be able to play like your favorites whether they be John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderley, Michael Brecker , or any other player you'd like to emanate.
Much more than just exercises!
Also included in the book are "Improv Etudes" on several standard chord progression and jazz standards such as;
- Blues
- Rhythm Changes
- Lady Bird
- Cherokee
-
Giant Steps
Just as Etudes (Studies) are used in learning the language of classical music, "Improv Etudes" are used here to learn and understand the jazz improvisational language.
The "Improv Etudes" are designed to help you:
- super-charge your ears
- build your technique
- improve your soloing in all keys
- develop your own style!
Well, you know that that seems to take FOREVER!
"Improv Etudes" provide a solution to your dilemma! While learning to use "Improv Etudes" you use the most effective way to incorporate any lick into your solos faster than ever before!
You will learn to play exactly the way you'd like and save hundreds of hours in practice time !
And that's not all!
You'll also get transcribed solos included in the book at no extra cost! Take you favorite licks out of these solos (or any other solos you have) and incorporate them into your playing using "Improv Etudes".
- Impress your friends, family and colleagues with your new soloing skills!
- Stand out among the crowd!
