by Corey Christiansen and Kim Bock. Mel Bay Publications, 2002,
SS, 55 pages + CD. This book focuses on the first period of Coltrane's

three to flat nine, targeting, and other techniques. Then the text
presents numerous one-, two-, and three-measure jazz lines in

combining various lines, musicians will be able to mix and match

turnarounds, and other harmonic situations.
