		<description><![CDATA[Here are a couple of patterns I like to practice from time to time to limber up my ability to interpolate chromatic lines with common tones. The third exercise is one that I just thought of, and since I&#8217;ll be incorporating it into my saxophone practice sessions from now on, I thought I&#8217;d drop it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The headline for this post is a bit deceptive. I&#8217;m really not interested in offering one more definition of jazz, or of discussing elements such as swing, syncopation, improvisation, blue notes, and so on. All of that has been abundantly covered in a bazillion books on jazz history, jazz theory, and jazz musicians. A better [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I announced the upcoming release of an e-book filled with licks and patterns designed to help jazz musicians  improvise on the famous John Coltrane tune &#8220;Giant Steps.&#8221; As is true of just about any big endeavor that&#8217;s worth doing, though, this one is taking a little longer than I&#8217;d anticipated.

Saturating myself in the rarely used key of concert A, as I&#8217;ve been doing lately, and also taking new material through all twelve keys, has not only been unlocking my saxophone technique overall, but it is [...]]]></description>
