Advanced Rhythmic Concepts for Improvisation offers the advancing student a method to expand their rhythmic vocabulary and explore some of the more challenging aspects of the modern jazz idiom. It puts rhythm and time-feel front and center, and offers techniques for strengthening your inner metronome, enhancing your time-feel, expanding your rhythmic flexibility, and especially, learning how to improvise fluently in odd meters. The book includes over 120 audio tracks, with 52 backing tracks featuring a superb rhythm section for the student to play along with. There are multiple examples of grooves in each meter, as well as multi-meter exercises, arrangements of standards, an exploration of triplet groupings, polyrhythmic exercises, and full compositions. Includes access to online audio.
