| Comments about JAZZ SYLES AND TECHNIQUES:
"At last-a workbook that's as usable for jazz band directors as it is for emerging guitarists. As a conductor of lab bands, I always felt comfortable speaking with horn players, drummers, bassists and even pianists, about what they needed to do to make the music happen. I never felt I had enough "concrete information" to aid my guitarists. From comping patterns to what strings to use for different styles, this book is a wonderful resource for all of us." Jay Saunders, lead trumpet pro, jazz faculty/ University of North Texas
"This book is a must for guitarists of all ages who have aspirations of playing in an ensemble..." Jack Petersen, jazz guitarist and educator/ Berklee School of Music, University of North Texas, University of South Florida
"Finally, an instruction book for the jazz band director and the jazz band guitarist that gives great direction for both budding and competant student guitarists. The information is clear, concise, and most importantly, the right stuff! This text should be required reading for any jazz music educator." Dan Prado, director/Grapevine High School Bands, Grapevine, TX
"This book is written for the high school and/or college player who is playing in an ensemble for the first time, but has a great deal to offer the more experienced player too. There is a good balance between information and exercises but the real value of the book, in my opinion, lies in the "pearls of wisdom" liberally sprinkled throughout." Forrest Murphy, co-founder of the Dallas/ Fort Worth Jazz Guitar and Bass Club.
