Re: Books for key changes

David,

I'm not sure the technique is the only thing you need. Perhaps more ear training to "strengthen" your already very good ears. Just learning scales and arpeggios as a way to refine your improvisation could end up being a very mechanical solution.

Sometimes less is more so consider some messing around with piano and get yourself a good fake book. Just playing some of the more unusual changes, even as block chords, could be helpful.

But I am assuming you have a little basis in music theory. If not, that may be part of your developmental program.

HRL (a pretty good improviser with very good ears)
