The only book that shows how the Blues Scales (Major and Minor) are used to create jazz solos. Designed to help beginners quickly learn how to create meaningful solos without having to first master all the scales and chords of a tune. Great transcriptions of solo phrases by Miles Davis; Dave Sanborn; Dizzy Gillespie; etc. showing how the Blues Scales are used. The accompanying CD has the author and his NY rhythm section demonstrating each exercise; and also great as a jazz play-along! Endorsed by Michael Brecker; Jamey Aebersold; etc. The audio portion of this book is available for free download at http://www.shermusic.com/new/downloads.​shtml.

NielsenAlthough I hire models occasionally for my work..i cant always find good models with the body type I need for my work. This series of art models books is fantastic! I have every one and am always eager for the next one. The books come with a cd disc that enables you to see every pose in 360 andsome from different angles. Most poses are nude...but some include drapes or partial clothing; particularly in disrobing.This company; in their on line venue; actually takes suggestions for different poses and over time; Ive seen my suggestions implemented.I find these books fantastic as a reference source!!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. KINDLE format provides Less Photos but still an Excellent Selection!By Thomas BaldovinI purchased the KINDLE FORMAT of this book; which provides less photos than the hardcover or DVD-ROM versions and is also less expensive. But the selection of photos in the Kindle format s excellent! The Live Model hardcovers; which Ive purchased in the past; contain poses viewed from ALL angles. While that is a nice feature if you want to find your favorite angle of a given pose; you really do get far more poses than you can use and some angles are just unattractive and useless. The Kindle version gives you a good number of poses -- male; female; all body types and ethnicities; and all beautifully done -- with no more than one; two or three angles of a given pose. For me; the Kindle selection of photos is more than enough and well worth the price. The only DOWNSIDE I found to buying the Kindle version is that I cant make print copies of these poses for myself or my art students. That feature is available in the other formats only.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. as always a great resource!By paigeThis series of books is a must have for any artist; the images are of a high quality and as always a great selection of poses. It can be hard to find poses that dont look contrived; this book delivers a wonderful array of both male and female figures. Probably the most important feature is the images used are royalty free so you dont have to worry about copyright issues. The book also contains a disc that contians all the images for you to print out as well on your home pc. I have quite a few of these books from this series this is just as good as the others!Paige
