For jazz, rock and pop improvisation, good listening comprehension is as important as theoretical knowledge and instrumental ability. Based on that, the university professor Tom van der Geld has developed a systematic introduction to jazz ear training for self-study and lessons.Volume 2 of the new ear training programme deals with advanced jazz harmony. Modern jazz scales and extended seventh chords as well as frequently occurring connections of chords are explained in a comprehensible way and practised in numerous audio examples. In addition, the accompanying CD-ROM contains the worksheets for each chapter and the solutions for printing.
