Stylistically, this is a book about jazz improvisation, both because that particular musical style is most comfortable and familiar to this author and because jazz has been the main arena of improvisation for nearly a century, at least for profusion, if not superiority in that craft. However, the many and variegated techniques developed by great jazz improvisers during the last century and presented here would be of considerable, even equal use to persons engaged in other styles of improvisation, such as rock, blue grass, dixieland, commercial, dance or church music. Perhaps someday there will be specific improvisation methods for these styles, but for the present, jazz music leads all other styles in the development of methods for learning to improvise.
