Inspired by the music of Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, The Yellowjackets and others, this text is a clear, concise study of contemporary harmonic progressions that are created and derived from the melody rather than from the key.“A clear, concise, and beautifully conceived approach to expanding the harmonic possibilities for today’s composer”. (Russell Ferrante - The Yellowjackets)“A way to forge a personal creative process which provides structure in a harmonic style that has few boundaries”. (Joe Mulholland - Chairman Harmony Department, Berklee College of Music.)
