Mick Goodrick - (One of the best guitar players of our generation,
people are still talking about his concert with Pat Metheny at Berklee College
of Music this year (2003).) "Miles Donahue has just provided all
of us Jazz educators with a remarkable tool in his latest offering, 'THE JAZZ
WORKBOOK, Volume 1'. The author;s intention is to provide meaningful exercises
that are aimed at helping INTERMEDIATE jazz improvisers increase their skills.
I beleive that he has succeeded wonderfully along these lines. The material
provided, the format and the presentation are first-rate. This is a very intelligent
way to go, in my opinion. But it dosen't stop there... The accompanying play-along
CD is perhaps, even as valuable as the book!! Miles gives you the exercises,
and he also gives you the real environment of a Jazz background to play along
with!! (very COOL!) (I would guess that many advanced players will love to
play along with these tracks... I know that I do!!!) All in all, this is a
wonderful work... I recommend it highly!!! (and I can't wait to see volume
2!!)" Mick Goodrick
Charlie Banacos - (One of the most sought after teachers in the world, his students include Mike Stern and many other famous Jazz players.) "It's nice to see a book written about Jazz improvisation by someone who is a master of practicing and playing. Miles knows what he is talking about and these exercises, if applied seriously, will help any aspiring Jazz player and could also be used by a professional player looking to review the basics."
Rick Peckham - (Assistant Chari, Guitar Department, Berklee College of Music.) "Miles Donahue's new book of exercises and CD will help anyone who would like to dig deeper into the chord changes through use of contemporary vocabulary. About the CD - thank you! I think it sounds great. It's wonderful to have the drums isolated like that, bringing accross the essential connection in any soloist's approach. Then building out to the bass. Very musical approach."
Billy Pierce - (Chairperson of the woodwind department, Berklee College of Music and former member of the Jazz Messengers and Tony Williams Band.) I recommend this book highly - what you need to know."
Jerry Bergonzi - (Saxophone legend who has played with Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Michael Brecker and many others. A professor at N.E.C and the author of five books himself.) "Congratulations to Miles Donahue, I have heard the results of these exercises - and they work."
Phil Steffen - (Professional guitar player, Boston, Massachusetts.) "I have been looking for the book my whole life."
Bruce Gertz - (A Bass Instructor at Berklee College of Music for 27 years and the leader of his own group that includes John Abercrombie, Joey Caldarazzo and Jerry Bergonzi.) "Miles Donahue's 'The Jazz Workbook' is a great tool for aspiring musicians and improvisors. It helps the player learn to stand alone by hearing and outlining the changes. A strength every musician must have. I enjoy the exercises for phrasing, technique and ear training."
