Re: Books for key changes

Grifffinity, thanks for the resource suggestions. Just what I am looking for.

And Hank, appreciate your thoughts as well. Agree that ear training is where the magic happens. And I do a lot of it. I recently discovered the jazz channel on my satellite tv rig. I spent two hours today just playing with whatever came on. Other than that, I been "playing" with Brubeck, Bill Evans, Sonny Stitt and Gene Ammons (among others) for years. With a killer sound system and digital quality, jamming with the masters is one of my great joys in life. It has helped me enormously when playing live. And I am always whistle improvising. Indeed, I wish I could put down the lines with my horns that I can with my lips. For years I have wanted to be able to look at changes in a chart and immediately get the notes that are available beyond the root. There is always room for more magic. Now I need a bit of mechanism. I figure that studying the scales and permutations will help me get there.
Warm regards,
David
