"After playing/ studying Jazz for 50 years I have a bookcase full of “how to play Jazz books”. None compare to Jeff Ellwood’s! It’s elegant in its simplicity. His formula is foolproof. Nothing has helped my playing like this book.
As for my students, I’ve never had any material that helps them sound so good so quickly.
The results are amazing" - Luther Hughes
