Book Reviews of Forward Motion
Book Review: Good Idea, short on substance.
Summary: 2 Stars
The basic idea of the book is contained in the title. Jazz phrasing should move forward toward the strong harmonic beats. The substance of the book is pretty much one example over and over. It is also rather chatty, i.e. "When me and Dizz were playing at the ... etc. etc.". A far better choice is "Connecting Chords with Linear Harmony" by Bert Ligon which is rich in examples from various masters. Also David Baker's "How to play bebop" series covers in depth some of the ideas "Galps" just touches on.
