Creative Variations Volume 1 (co-written with Malcolm Miles)

 

For solo instrument and piano with CD too. Versions for Saxophone, Clarinet, Recorder, Flute and Violin. The classically trained musician is often nervous about trying to improvise jazz. Volume 1 should help to allay those fears...the greatest advantage has to be the CD...The performances are short and fairly simple allowing you just to copy in the first instance.
