What the Pros are saying about “250 Jazz Patterns”: “I highly recommend the book “250 Jazz Patterns” by Evan Tate, it is an invaluable tool

for the development of improvisation in the jazz language. I use it with my students to

develop their ear towards a more melodic and motif oriented approach to playing chord

progressions, specifically turnarounds and the essential ii V I variations. There is more

to this book than meets the eye, it not only feeds student but it teaches the student to

cook so that he/she can feed themselves for a musical lifetime.”

improvisation, Evan Tate’s rises to the top. I urge any beginning musician interested in
