There has been discussion om here on using the Jamey Ambersold CD play-along collection as a practice aid in learning to improvise. Yesterday, at Clarinexus, Prof Todd DelGiudice held an hour long session on improvisation on clarinet, and he used Volume 24 with a class of a couple dozen clarinetists.

It was very cool. He wrote out on the black board the C-major modes, indicating which notes are "legal" resting places. Then, he fired up the Ambersold and played simple riffs for us to repeat. Very, very effective and fun. Vol 24 was ordered this morning.

Now, to get the house clear for a long session. (DelGiudice warned of the likelihood of addiction.
