Going in a different learning direction. Instead of the book I've been using, I decided to use the DVD "Jazz Manuche Technique & Improvisation Volume 1" by Denis Chang. From now on in this blog, I'll refer to this DVD as simply "the first DVD." I think the book I was using was good, but I get the feeling that this DVD (the first in a series) will be easier to follow in terms of actual application of concepts into improvisation as well as minimizing mistakes I might make due to the visual allowed in a DVD. I much prefer a book over a DVD; going to probably just write out the concepts, patterns, etc.
