I just found a really awe­some ‘online doc­u­ment’ by a guy named Marc Sabatella called A Jazz Impro­vi­sa­tion Primer. This is an online ver­sion to a text that he sells pri­vately, pro­vid­ing some broad insights to the ins and outs of Jazz improv with­out really zero­ing in on one of the many meth­ods on the mar­ket. Good. Meth­ods stink. I also think he’s pretty cool for hav­ing an online ver­sion for all to see. Jazz, in it’s way, is the orig­i­nal expres­sion of the Amer­i­can open source ideaol­ogy. It’s no sur­prise that Mr. Sabatella used to be a soft­ware engineer.
